About this map

The Tar River and Pamlico River serve as the central geographic axis for this mid-century portrait of Beaufort County, where the transition from inland waterway to broad estuary defines the local economy and layout. In Washington, the street grid terminates at the busy riverfront near City Hall and The Castle, while just across the water, the settlement of Chocowinity marks a secondary hub linked by the Norfolk Southern railroad. Industrial and community landmarks like Warren Field and the Pamlico Race Track illustrate the post-war development of the area's flatlands.
