About this map

Bath sits at the center of this coastal landscape, occupying the peninsula between Bath Creek and Back Creek. This 2019 survey documents a shoreline defined by intricate points and tidal guts, where the Pamlico River divides the northern settlements of Bayview and Hawkins Landing from the southern reaches of Core Point. The topography reveals a history of land use tied to these waterways, with names like Brick House Cove and Crawford Mill Run suggesting early coastal industry and habitation.

Transportation networks connect small landings and inland points, including Whitepost and Respess Shore. To the south, the Lee Creek Airport and the expansive Rumley Marsh illustrate the modern balance between infrastructure and the preserved wetlands of the Pamlico River estuary. Significant maritime features such as Core Point Shoal and Kilby Island reflect the navigation challenges and natural formations of the river mouth.
