1953 Map of Blounts Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Pamlico River and the sheltered waters of Blounts Bay define this coastal landscape, where the tides of the mid-20th century met established rural communities. The map captures a high density of country churches and small landings, such as Elizabeth Chapel and Gerard Landing, which served as local social hubs for waterfront families. These landmarks indicate a way of life tied closely to the many guts and creeks, including Yellowbank Gut and Alligator Gut, that carve through the timbered wetlands.
