1972 Map of Woodville

About this map

Lewiston and Woodville sit at the northern edge of this coastal plain landscape, serving as primary hubs of activity during the early 1970s. The region is defined by its low-lying hydrology, dominated by the sweeping bends of the Roanoke River and the extensive Roquist Pocosin, which covers a significant portion of the eastern quadrangle. This dense wetland environment is carved by Roquist Cr and Indian Creek, while human settlement patterns follow the higher ground along the Scl Rr corridor and local road networks. Rural life is anchored by a series of country churches, including St Lukes Ch, Weeping Mary Ch, and Mt Joy Ch, each representing a community pocket within the timber and agricultural lands of Bertie County. Further south, the map documents smaller locales like Cahaba and Manning, alongside aviation and industrial markers such as the Harrington Airport and various sand and gravel pits.
