1982 Map of Wade Point

About this map

The Pasquotank River serves as the central geographic divide in this 1982 orthophotomap, separating Camden and Pasquotank counties as it empties into the Albemarle Sound. This specialized map combines traditional topographic contouring with aerial photography, revealing the intricate land-use patterns of the early 1980s. Along the eastern shore, the settlement of Old Trap is surrounded by a network of drainage features like Beaverdam Swamp and Goose Creek, while the western banks are defined by the winding course of Newbegun Creek and Flatty Creek.
