1908 Map of Winton

About this map

The confluence of the Meherrin River and the Chowan River defines the landscape of northeastern North Carolina in this early twentieth-century survey. The town of Winton serves as a central hub along the riverbanks, while Tunis and South Tunis mark critical points where the Atlantic Coast Line crosses the water. The area's agricultural and timber-based economy is evident in the numerous named swamps and pocosons, such as Whiteoak Pocoson and Ahoskie Swamp, which are interspersed with local landmarks like Dildys Mill and Cessons Mill.
