The Tar River serves as the central artery for this coastal plain landscape at the opening of the twentieth century, connecting the port of Washington to the interior settlements of Grimesland and Pactolus. The river is active with transit, marked by a primary Steamboat Route and vital river crossings such as Boyd Ferry and Grimes Ldg. at the Pitt and Beaufort County line. Further downstream, the river widens into the Pamlico River as it passes Chocowinity and the landmark known as The Castle.
