2010 Map of Weldon

About this map

The Roanoke River dominates this portion of Halifax and Northampton Counties, serving as the historical and geographic centerpiece for the riverfront towns of Weldon and South Weldon. This 2010 survey illustrates the developed corridor south of the river, where local genealogists can locate Cedarwood Cemetery and Oak Ridge Cemetery near the heart of the settlement. North of the river, Garysburg sits at a critical junction of regional routes and rail lines, surrounded by a complex network of tributaries such as Trouble Field Creek and Arthurs Creek. The landscape transitions from the residential and commercial streets of Weldon to the low-lying terrain of Mush Island and the braided channels of Mush Island Gut, revealing the influence of the river's hydrology on local land use and infrastructure, including the Pearce Pond Dam.
