1954 Map of Westover

About this map

The Roanoke River delta meets the waters of Albemarle Sound in this detailed map of the lowlands where Bertie and Washington counties converge. The complex aquatic landscape is defined by the Cashie River, Conary Creek, and Eastmost River, which carve out a network of landforms including Goodmans Island and Rice Island. Industrial and agricultural infrastructure is evident through the Tidewater Experiment Station and the Norfolk Southern railway lines that connect the local settlements. Cultural history is anchored by several rural congregations such as Socona Ch and Saints Delight Ch, reflecting the dispersed community structure of the mid-20th century. The presence of Riverside Airport and a Sewage Disposal plant near Plymouth indicates the modernization occurring on the outskirts of the larger town during the postwar period.
