1982 Map of Wade Point

About this map

The Pasquotank River serves as the central artery for this coastal landscape where Camden and Pasquotank Counties meet at the edge of the Albemarle Sound. This orthophotomap, based on early 1980s data, illustrates the intricate relationship between agricultural clearings and the surrounding wetlands. In Camden County, the settlement of Old Trap sits near the head of Beaverdam Swamp, while smaller hubs like Texas and Sound Landing line the eastern shore. Across the water, the Pasquotank side is marked by a series of prominent points including Bluff Point and Wade Point. The distribution of community life is traced through several local houses of worship, such as Gentile Ch, New Salem Ch, and Flatty Creek Ch, many of which are accompanied by small family or church Cem plots that provide essential clues for genealogical research in this lowland region.
