2013 Map of Bath

About this map

The Bath settlement sits prominently where Bath Cr meets the wide expanse of the Pamlico River, reflecting its deep coastal history. This landscape is defined by its intricate shoreline of guts, coves, and points, including Bonners Point, Catnip Point, and Respess Shore. Across the river, the industrial footprint of the Texasgulf Phosphate Operation contrasts with the quiet residential patterns of Bayview and Shell Landing. The map reveals a community deeply tied to the water, with numerous landings like Hawkins Landing and Core Point serving as gateways to the sound. Aviation and industry also shape the southern bank near Lee Creek Airport, while the northern interior toward Whitepost transitions into a network of creek drainages such as Adams Cr and Boyd Cr. The presence of large-scale mineral extraction alongside centuries-old maritime settlements provides a clear picture of the modern economy intersecting with the region's traditional seafaring roots.
