2011 Map of East Lake

About this map

East Lake and its surrounding wetlands define this coastal landscape on the edge of the Albemarle Sound. The settlement of East Lake is clustered along the shoreline near East Lake Landing, where the terrestrial landscape begins to fragment into the tidal reaches of the Alligator River. To the east, the community of Lake Neighborhood is connected by local routes like Lake Neighborhood Rd and Briar Hall, tracing the habitable ground between South Lake and the sound. The geography is marked by numerous named points and coastal features, such as Durant Island and Briery Hall Point, which suggest a long history of maritime navigation and local reliance on these waterways. This map documents a region where the boundary between land and water is constantly shifting, shaped by features like Sandy Point Shoal and Middle Ground.
