About this map

The town of Belhaven serves as the focal point for this coastal survey, where the Pungo River meets the smaller waters of Pantego Creek and Pungo Creek. The shoreline is defined by several distinct family and geographical markers, including Battallina Point, Tooleys Point, and Haystack Point, reflecting a landscape deeply connected to the river and its tributaries. Moving inland, the map reveals a network of low-lying ridges and landing sites, such as Arnolds Ridge, Beech Ridge, and Piney Grove Landing, which suggest a long history of water-based access and agricultural transition.

Transportation through the region is anchored by routes like Saint Paul RD and the proximity of small aviation facilities like the Pungo District Hospital Airport. The presence of small settlements such as Leechville and Haslin Corner alongside named waterways like Lower Dowry Creek and Shallop Creek illustrates the early 21st-century distribution of communities along the North Carolina coast, documenting the contemporary relationship between these established settlements and the tidal landscape.
