2019 Map of Woodland

About this map

Woodland serves as the central hub of this eastern North Carolina landscape, where the local street grid including W Main St and Spruce St meets the rural agricultural hinterland of Northampton and Hertford counties. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of low-lying wetlands and drainage systems, most notably Urahaw Swamp and Potecasi Creek, which dictate the placement of small communities like George and Potecasi. The modern infrastructure of the Tri-County Airport stands in contrast to the older crossroads settlements of Menola and Eagletown. These hamlets are connected by a web of named rural routes such as Mary Odom Rd and Pleasant Grove Rd, reflecting a landscape deeply tied to family-held land and small-scale transit between the various creeks and swamps that crisscross the coastal plain.
