About this map

Arapahoe and the northern settlement of Grantsboro anchor this coastal landscape in Pamlico County. The map reveals a complex interface of land and water, dominated by the massive Light Ground Pocosin wetland to the north and a dense network of tidal guts and creeks. Waterways like Dawson Creek, Beard Creek, and Goose Creek define the jagged shoreline along the Neuse River estuary.

Tracing the rural road network provides insight into the local economy and community structure. From the riverside landing at Red Hill Lndg to the leisure-oriented Minnesota Beach, the map documents how residents navigate this low-lying terrain. Interior features such as Fork Run and Wheeler Gut underscore the importance of natural drainage in a region where names like Fisher Turnpike Rd and Burton Farm Rd reflect long-standing familial and commercial connections to the land.
