1981 Map of Windsor North

About this map

Windsor and its northern surroundings in Bertie County are defined by the winding course of the Cashie River and its numerous tributaries. In the early 1980s, the landscape remained largely rural, characterized by the expansive wetlands of the Pell Mell Pocosin and drainage networks including Hoggard Mill Creek and Chiska Creek. The settlement pattern centers on small communities and crossroads such as Askewville, Buena Vista, and Todds Crossroads, connected by a network of local roads that largely follow the natural rises in the terrain. For local historians, the map documents a high density of rural institutions, including Cedar Fork Ch, Ross Ch, and Bethel Ch, alongside several family cemeteries and a Lookout Tower. Evidence of the area's industrial past is visible in an Old Railroad Grade and scattered sandpits, while the presence of Bertie High Sch and Davis Park marks the modern community infrastructure of the period.
