About this map

Arapahoe and Minnesott Beach anchor the southern reaches of this Pamlico County landscape, where the land meets a complex network of coastal tributaries. To the north, the terrain is dominated by the Light Ground Pocosin, a distinctive wetland characteristic of the North Carolina coastal plain. The hydrology of the area is defined by numerous winding guts and creeks, including the expansive Dawson Creek and Beard Creek, which flow toward the Neuse River.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find several family-named roads and specific landmarks, such as Red Hill Lndg and Baird Point Rd, that provide evidence of longstanding riverine connections. The presence of Fisher Turnpike Rd and Taylor Neck Rd reflects the historical importance of overland routes between the small farming communities and the waterfront landings that once served as vital trade links.
