the segment in Figure 6.
Willard proposed a comparison that would expose the maps to an even sterner test. He
placed a transparency of the Zuniga map over White’s 1585 Manuscript Map B [Figure 7].
When the transparency scale is justified to the White map, Pomeyooc and Pananiock are in
agreement. The western-trailing trail or waterway on the Zuniga map then points directly, from a
creek on the Pamlico Sound, to the Indian village of Tramanskecooc on the White map. Willard
has since shown the map and transparency to a map expert who said that such agreement is no
coincidence in maps of that period. Other scholars, Dr. Ralph Scott 16 and Dr. David LaVere for
example, have also proffered that this degree of agreement could not be a coincidence. “These
maps are a very compelling and persuasive argument as to the location indicated on the Zuniga
map being Pomeyooc” 17 . 9
