About this map

North Landing River and the Intracoastal Waterway dominate this coastal landscape, where the border between Virginia Beach and Currituck County meets the Atlantic drainage. The map reveals a low-lying region defined by intricate creek systems including Snake Creek and Milldam Creek, with small settlements like Creeds and Blackwater serving as local hubs. These communities are connected by a network of rural roads such as Pungo Ferry Rd and Princess Anne Rd, reflecting the historical transition from water-based transport to modern land routes.

For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of Oak Grove Cem, Blackwater Cem, and Bethel Cem provides specific points for family research. The southern portion of the sheet opens into Tull Bay and the Northwest River, featuring prominent coastal landmarks like Troublesome Point and Hog Island, which illustrate the shifting shoreline and marshy terrain of the Virginia-North Carolina borderlands.
