1954 Map of Westover

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Albemarle Sound and the complex river delta where the Roanoke River meets Batchelor Bay dominate this mid-century coastal landscape. The survey documents a critical junction of transport and agriculture in the tidewater region, showing the convergence of the Norfolk Southern railway lines near the settlement of Roper. Along the shoreline, places like Albemarle Beach and Cashoke Landing reflect the water-dependent economy, while inland, the Tidewater Experiment Station points to the area's agricultural research significance. The map provides excellent genealogical detail through its placement of rural congregations and burial grounds, including Saints Delight Ch, White Marsh Ch, and St Luke Cem. Low-lying wetlands such as Morgan Swamp and Black Walnut Swamp weave between the established hamlets of Westover and Macedonia, illustrating the environmental constraints on coastal North Carolina development.
