1949 Map of Williston

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

North River and the complex tidal estuaries of eastern North Carolina define this coastal landscape, where small fishing and farming communities trace the shoreline. The map illustrates a pattern of maritime settlement at the mid-century, with villages like Bettie, Otway, Smyrna, and Williston clustered along the primary roadways and creek heads. Inland, the expansive Open Grounds dominate the northern portion of the quadrangle, representing a massive tract of undeveloped pocosin and marshland that contrasts sharply with the settled coastal fringe.
