2011 Map of Creeds

About this map

The North Landing River dominates this coastal landscape, carving a wide path through the marshy lowlands near the Virginia-North Carolina border. In the early 21st century, small communities like Creeds and Blackwater remained anchored by legacy landmarks, including Oak Grove Cemetery, Blackwater Cemetery, and Bethel Cemetery. The geography is defined by its relationship to the water, with numerous points and islands such as Munden Point, Gibbs Point, and Faraby Island protruding into the river's expanse. To the south, the Northwest River feeds into Tull Bay near the settlement of Greentown. This era's infrastructure is marked by a network of rural roads such as Princess Anne Rd and Pungo Ferry Rd, which connect the scattered hamlets of Vine and Munden to the larger river system, reflecting a long-standing maritime and agricultural heritage.
