1953 Map of Blounts Bay

About this map

The Pamlico River and Blounts Bay define this mid-century landscape of coastal Beaufort County, where deep-water points and winding guts create a complex shoreline for fishing and recreation. Inland from the river, the geography is marked by small agricultural and social centers such as Martin and Yeats, alongside numerous houses of worship including Ephesus Ch, St Francis Ch, and Gerards Chapel. The road network, featuring Gilead Road and Mauls Point Road, connects these communities to landings and camps like Camp Hardee and Camp Leach.
