About this map

The Pamlico River serves as the focal point for this Beaufort County coastal landscape, where the historic town of Bath is situated along the deep indentations of Bath Creek. This survey captures the intersection of early North Carolina settlement patterns and modern industrial land use. To the north, the small settlement of Whitepost marks the inland reach of the map, while the shoreline is dotted with family-named landmarks and points such as Bonners Point, Respess Shore, and Beasley Point.

South of the river, the landscape transitions into significant industrial activity at the Texasgulf Phosphate Operation and the adjacent Lee Creek Airport. This area is defined by numerous smaller tributaries including Durham Creek and Porter Creek. The geography reveals a shoreline constantly shaped by the water, from the Core Point Shoal to the recreational areas of Bayview and Leeward Seine Beach, providing a clear view of the region's maritime character at the start of the twenty-first century.
