About this map

Sans Souci and Woodard anchor this low-lying riverine landscape where the Cashie River and Roanoke River systems converge in eastern North Carolina. The map depicts a complex hydrologic network of creeks, sloughs, and pocosins, with the Buckleberry Pocosin dominating the northern terrain and the Middle River branching through the southern wetlands. The rural character of Bertie Co and Martin Co is defined by these watercourses, which historically dictated settlement patterns and transport, as evidenced by names like Hymans Ferry Rd.

Navigation through the braided channels is marked by distinct features such as the Devils Elbow bend and the Purchase Islands. A network of rural routes, including Peterson Church Rd and Old Merry Hill Rd, connects the scattered riverside communities. The detailed wetland data highlights the importance of seasonal flooding and water management in this coastal plain environment, where Thoroughfare and Broad Creek link larger river branches.
