The Pungo River dominates this coastal landscape, where the town of Belhaven serves as a primary hub for maritime and residential activity. The grid of streets in town, including E Main St and Railroad St, gives way to a sprawling network of water-access points like Piney Grove Landing and Hoophole Landing. The area is defined by its low-lying ridges and drainage canals, such as the Pungo Lake Canal and Upper Dowry Cr, which support the region's agricultural interests like the Beech Ridge Pork Farm. Small settlements and named corners, including Haslin Corner and Leechville, are scattered along Highway 264, reflecting the rural character of Beaufort County. Along the shoreline, places like Bible Shore and the Dowry Creek Marina indicate the importance of recreational and commercial boating near Pungo Point and Bay Point.
