About this map

The Intracoastal Waterway threads through the low-lying coastal plains of the Virginia-North Carolina border, defining a landscape of expansive wetlands and tidal reaches. Near the rural crossroads of Creeds, the map documents established local landmarks like Bethel Cem and Oak Grove Cem, providing clear spatial context for genealogical research. The geography is dominated by the complex hydrology of the North Landing River and the Northwest River, where numerous points and islands such as Munden Point, Gibbs Point, and Faraby Island jut into the waters.

Small settlements like Blackwater and Munden are interconnected by a network of local roads such as Pungo Ferry Rd and Princess Anne Rd. To the south, the terrain transitions toward Tull Bay and The Launch, marking the transition from Virginia into Currituck County. This 2019 survey captures the delicate balance between these historical settlements and the sprawling marshes of Nellie Bell Ponds and Hog Island.
