1950 Map of Vandemere

About this map

Vandemere sits at the confluence of Vandemere Creek and the Bay River, serving as a central hub for this coastal Pamlico County landscape. The mid-century settlement pattern is defined by small communities like Hollyville (Cash Corner), Maribel, and Mesic, each anchored by local institutions such as the Maribel Sch and numerous country churches including Mt Zion Ch and St James Ch. The maritime economy of the era is evident through the presence of a Marine RR in Vandemere and the proximity of the Intracoastal Waterway to the east.
