About this map

The Cashie River flows through this corner of Bertie County, anchoring the town of Windsor where multiple roads converge. This 2016 survey shows the town’s modern layout alongside several historic drainage systems that define the surrounding landscape, including the Whiteoak Swamp and Chiska Cr. To the north, smaller settlements like Askewville and Buena Vista are situated among a network of rural routes such as Early Station Rd and Mizelle Ln.

Genealogical and local history value is found in the location of Edgewood Cem and the naming of family-linked landmarks like Todds Crossroads. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the dense wetlands of the Pell Mell Pocosin, intersected by numerous small waterways like Cucklemaker Cr and Hoggard Mill Cr. The map illustrates how human development in this region has historically clustered along the higher ground between these various swamps and creek branches.
