About this map

The Cashie River meanders through the heart of Bertie County, defining a landscape of low-lying watercourses and riverine landings. This 2013 survey highlights the small settlement of Sans Souci, where the Sans Souci Ferry continues a historic tradition of crossing the river. To the west, the community of Woodard is connected by a network of local roads such as Woodard Rd and Blanchards Rd, reflecting the rural agricultural character of the inner Coastal Plain.

Water dictates the topography here, as the Cashie flows south toward its confluence near the Roanoke River and the Middle River. Notable river landmarks including Devils Elbow and family-named points like Cooper Landing and Smithwick Landing suggest a long history of water-based transport and regional commerce. Inland, roads named for local families and landmarks, such as St Luke Church Rd and Hymans Ferry Rd, provide essential clues for genealogists and local historians tracking the area's development.
