I found a map online of Edgecombe County in 1905 that shows the locations of the properties of many residents. It overlays a current day Google map so you can easily figure out where the properties are today. I thought it may be of interest to many of my fellow Edgecombe County researchers so I am posting the link.

Thank you so much for sharing this link - specifically, for mentioning that you can view properties. I just had a great find for my McNair, Wimberly, & Battle research and just had to stay up a few more minutes to blog about it! You can read it at http://tinyurl.com/ljakgx.
