2019 Map of Bayboro

About this map

Bayboro and its neighboring settlements occupy a low-lying landscape heavily defined by an intricate network of drainage and transport waterways. Located near the Beaufort and Pamlico County line, this coastal plain region features engineered waterways such as the Main Canal, Bonner Canal, and Sawyer Canal that cross the wetlands to manage the flow toward the Bay River. These canals speak to the agricultural history and hydraulic management required to support communities like Alliance and Grantsboro. Along the North Prong Bay River, the map shows the transition from rural acreage to the established town centers of Stonewall and the county seat. Numerous family-named roads, such as Paul Farm Rd and Hunnings Farm Rd, suggest deep-rooted local landholdings, while the presence of Gum Swamp and E Fork Goose Creek indicates the persistent natural marshlands that surround these eastern North Carolina hubs.
