The Gilmer map covers eastern NC during the War Between the States. The western- most boundary of the map covers the railroad tracks that go from North to South from the Goldsboro area to above Rocky Mount...Then above Rocky Mount it seems to go a little more west, but my poor eyesight will not pick out towns there. If your family lived east of the Railroad track then the map might be helpful. I promise that the next time I go to the Archives I will get copies of the other maps that I mentioned previously. As for the counties covered in the map, you have all the ones which lie between the Chowan River and the Railroad Tracks east of Raleigh (the Goldsboro/Wilson/Rocky Mount line) and the Northern border is Virginia while the Southern border is just south of Kinston in an east to west direction... In other words it doesn't cover the extreme eastern most part of NC, nor does it go all the way to S.C. but kind of block of land in the Coastal Plain.. Now, if anyone has a different approach or a way to make this clearer, please jump in and correct me!!
