About this map

Coinjock serves as a central hub in this coastal landscape, situated along the critical path of the Intracoastal Waterway. This area of the Inner Banks is defined by its intricate network of wetlands and tidal waters, including the North River, Currituck Sound, and Piney Island Bay. The settlement pattern reflects a long history of maritime and agricultural life, with small communities like Aydlett and Poplar Branch connected by local thoroughfares such as Aydlett Rd and Narrow Shore Rd.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local data points, as the map preserves the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds. From the Baum Family Cem and Midgett Cem in the north to the Charles Wilson Forbes Cem and Dunton Cem further south, these sites offer tangible links to the area's historical residents. The Coinjock Baptist Church and its accompanying Coinjock Baptist Church Cem stand as landmarks of the local community's social and religious center.
