2013 Map of Williamston

About this map

The town of Williamston serves as the central focus of this landscape, situated near a distinctive curve of the Roanoke River known as Conoho Bend. The mapping records a transition from the compact street grid of the town center—including corridors like E Main St and W Church St—to the surrounding agricultural and timbered lands of Martin County. Beyond the town limits, the terrain is defined by a dense network of hydrologic features, including Skewakee Gut and the slow-moving drainage of Back Swamp and Peter Swamp. To the south, the newer residential development of Woodland Acres stands between the town and the rural reaches of Hardison Mill Cr. The map's detail provides a record of the area's modern infrastructure, from the industrial sites near Landfill Rd to the various branches of the Ready Br and Smithwick Cr systems that drain the low-lying coastal plain.
