Abstract:
Roanoke Inlet closed between 1792 and 1798, thus depriving the northeastern North Carolina port towns of an outlet to the Atlantic. In 1820, Hamilton Fulton, civil engineer to the State of North Carolina, devised a plan for reopening the inlet. The project was never undertaken; however, reports of the area provided a detailed account of the dramatic geographic changes that took place in after the Roanoke Inlet closed.

Abstract:
The Peutinger map is the only surviving map made by the Romans of their own world in AD 300 and is kept at the Austrian National Library in Vienna. The map was discovered by Konrad Celtis, a treasure hunter who bequeathed the map to Konrad Peutinger, after whom it is named. According to Richard Talbert, a UNC history professor, the purpose of the map was not geography; rather, it served to brag about the glory of Rome and the empire it had become.

Abstract:
This section of the map shows the northwestern limits of the cartographer's knowledge for the time period. It goes up to the Blue Ridge and stops. The map displays Mulberry Fields as the location of modern Wilkesboro. Today's South Mountains were then called Montague Mountains, and the 'Indian Road' running past Table Rock down to the Catawba River probably was the trail known as the Nickajack Trail.
