About this map

The Cashie River meanders through the wetlands of Bertie County, defining the rural character of this coastal plain landscape. Small settlements like Woodard and Sans Souci anchor a network of local roads such as Hymans Ferry Rd and Sans Souci Rd, which trace the historical movement patterns between the riverside and the interior. To the north, the terrain transitions into the dense, marshy Buckleberry Pocosin, a distinctive evergreen shrub bog characteristic of the region.

Southward, the influence of the Roanoke River is evident in the complex delta system of islands and channels. Features like Devils Elbow, Throughfare, and the Purchase Islands demonstrate the intricate hydrology where the Middle River and Cashie River converge near the Martin County line. This 2022 survey documents the persistent natural geography of the North Carolina tidewater, where land use remains heavily influenced by the seasonal ebb and flow of these significant waterways.
