About this map

Albemarle Sound dominates the northern reaches of this coastal North Carolina landscape, where the confluence of the Roanoke River, Cashie River, and Middle River creates a complex network of wetlands and islands. The terrain is characterized by tidal waters and low-lying points like Terrapin Point and Black Walnut Point. Inland, the settlement of Westover serves as a local hub near the southern bank of Conaby Creek, while smaller communities such as Macedonia and Peterson are connected by a grid of rural routes including NC-1331 and NC-1333.

Landmarks of local heritage are scattered throughout the region, including Saint Luke Cemetery and Buncombe Hall near the eastern margin. The map documents the varied uses of the waterfront, from the residential and recreational character of Albemarle Beach to the historic landing sites of Cashoke Landing and Freemans Landing. The presence of the Riverside Airport near the Roanoke suggests the area's role in local aviation and transit during the early 21st century.
