1951 Map of Bluff Point

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Swanquarter National Wildlife Refuge dominates this coastal landscape in Hyde County, where the terrestrial world meets the expansive Pamlico Sound. This 1951 survey reveals a transitional environment defined by extensive wetlands and intricate tidal water bodies. The shoreline is punctuated by notable landmarks like Juniper Bay Point and Drum Point, which separate the waters of Juniper Bay, Cunning Harbor Bay, and West Bluff Bay. This area, primarily designated for conservation, shows very little human development outside of a lone Light and some marsh drainage features. The map provides a detailed look at the hydrology of the Inner Banks before modern coastal changes, capturing the original footprint of Lake Landing and the remote reaches of Swan Quarter along the sound's northern edge.
