About this map

The Chowan River dominates this coastal landscape, serving as a historic corridor where numerous landings and fisheries once supported the regional economy. Near Edenhouse Point, the river transitions toward the Atlantic Ocean, framed by the expansive waters that define life in Chowan County. The survey illustrates a network of maritime-oriented settlements, including Blackrock and Macedonia, alongside specialized sites like the Edenton National Fish Hatchery.

Inland, the terrain is characterized by low-lying drainages such as Pollock Swamp and Salmon Cr, crossed by landmarks like Wildcat Bridge and Bowman Bridge. The map reveals the persistence of traditional riverfront names like Hermitage Wharf and Black Rock Fishery, providing a clear look at how land use and transportation routes have evolved around Copper Neck and the surrounding landings. From Mount Gould Landing in the north to Avoca in the south, the map documents the geography of this North Carolina shoreline.
