1953 Map of Blounts Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Pamlico River dominates this mid-century survey of Beaufort County, where the wide estuary meets the mouths of Broad Creek and Blounts Creek. The landscape is defined by its landings and guts, indicating a maritime-dependent community where Cotton Patch Landing and Gerard Landing served as vital points of access. To the north, the Washington Yacht and Country Club and residential pockets like River Acres and Shady Banks signal the area's development as a coastal retreat. Further inland, the map preserves a network of small rural institutions including Ephesus Ch, St Francis Ch, and the Ware Creek Sch. These landmarks, along with family-named locations like Elizabeth Chapel and Gerards Chapel, provide a detailed record of the social and spiritual hubs that anchored the Chocowinity and Richland districts.
