About this map

Newbegun Creek winds through the heart of this coastal landscape, defining the rural character of southeastern Pasquotank County during the early 1980s. The settlement of Weeksville serves as a central hub, surrounded by a dense network of country churches including Newbegun Ch, Rebecca Ch, and Galilee Ch. This orthophotomap, derived from 1977 aerial photography, reveals the intricate relationship between the land and the surrounding waters of the Pasquotank River and Albemarle Sound.

Industry and infrastructure are concentrated in the north, where the USCG Airbase and the Norfolk Southern railroad line transition into the broad agricultural fields and woodlots that dominate the peninsula. Researchers will find numerous cemeteries and small settlements like Salem and Listers Corner, alongside distinctive landmarks such as the Symonds Creek Tabernacle and several trailer parks, reflecting the community's mid-century residential patterns.
