2022 Map of East Lake SE

About this map

Roanoke Marsh and the surrounding wetland expanse of eastern North Carolina define this coastal environment as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map reveals an intricate network of local roads and tracks, such as Miltail Rd and Sawyer Lake Rd, which provide access through the dense vegetation of the Long Stretch. The presence of Borrow Pit Rd and numerous tracks named for local wildlife—including Canvasback Rd, Widgeon Rd, and Pollock Rd—points to a landscape managed for drainage and perhaps habitat or conservation. To the east, the transition from marsh to open water is marked by Callaghan Creek and Spencer Creek, showing the delicate interface between the mainland and the sound. This survey captures a highly specialized coastal geography where human access is limited to a distinct grid of utility and service roads.
