1977 Map of Woodland

About this map

The Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts a diagonal path through this agricultural portion of Northampton County, anchoring the town of Woodland and the settlement of Potecasi. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, where the Urahaw Swamp and Potecasi Creek create natural boundaries in the north, while Cutawhiskie Creek and Ahoskie Creek wind through the southern reaches. Numerous small rural congregations and local landmarks are documented, including Hebron Ch, Grace Ch, and Zion Grove Ch, alongside the crossroads at Mintons Store and the small airfield at Tri-County Airport. The abundance of small family or community cemeteries marked simply as Cem throughout the fields and woodlots provides a detailed record of the rural population distribution during the late 1970s.
