2010 Map of Columbia East

About this map

Albemarle Sound and the Atlantic Ocean define the northern limits of this coastal landscape, where the land meets the water at Ship Point and Palmetto Point. The area is characterized by a complex network of drainage and secondary roads, including Deweys Pier Rd and Elementary School Rd, which serve scattered residential clusters. Significant terrain features such as Big Savanna, Cranberry Island, and Dillion Ridge suggest a low-lying, marshy environment typical of the Inner Banks region. The town of Columbia sits on the western edge of the quadrangle, while smaller communities like Soundside, Levels, and Pleasant View are linked by rural routes. Further east, the Little Alligator River reaches toward the isolated settlement of Newfoundland, illustrating the influence of water on the local settlement pattern.
