About this map

The town of Williamston serves as the focal point of this survey, situated south of the major bend in the Roanoke River. The river's influence on the local geography is evident through features like Conoho Bend and Conine Island, which define the northern border near the Bertie and Martin County line. The landscape is heavily defined by its complex hydrography, with numerous watercourses such as Skewakee Gut, Poplar Swamp, and Hardison Mill Cr draining the low-lying coastal plain.

Local researchers will find significant landmarks recorded, including Woodlawn Cemetery and the Staton-Biggs Cemetery, along with the campus of Martin Community College. A dense network of rural roads like Eli Bowen Rd and Hickory Grove Rd connects the outlying areas to the urban center, illustrating the modern infrastructure while preserving the names of local family holdings and landmarks throughout the drainage basins of Ready Br and Peter Swamp.
