About this map

Durant Island and the marshy expanses of the Albemarle Sound dominate this coastal landscape, where land and water blur into a network of points and creeks. The community of East Lake sits at the southwestern edge of this survey, serving as a gateway for travelers crossing the Alligator River Brg. Just to the east, the small settlement of Lake Neighborhood is connected by a modest grid of local roads including Brier Hall Rd and Lake Neighborhood Rd.

The geography is defined by maritime navigation and the Intracoastal Waterway, which passes through the Middle Ground. Named coastal features such as Briery Hall Point, Sound Point, and Ned Bees Point provide specific landmarks for the various coves and inlets like Deep Bay and Tom Mann Creek. This area illustrates the low-lying, water-dependent character of Dare County, where roads often terminate abruptly at the marsh edge.
