1976 Map of Weldon
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Weldon and Garysburg sit on opposite banks of the Roanoke River in this 1976 orthophotoquad, which replaces traditional topographic line work with rectified aerial imagery. This perspective reveals the dense patchwork of agricultural clearings and forested corridors that defined the Halifax County landscape during the mid-1970s. The sharp contrast between the developed grids of South Weldon and the surrounding timberlands illustrates the region's concentrated settlement patterns. By using optical scanning to rectify the imagery, the U.S. Geological Survey provided a precise visual record of land use, from the winding path of the river to the specific layout of individual farmsteads and transport routes connecting these North Carolina communities.
