About this map

The Chowan River serves as the central geographic divide in this coastal survey, separating Chowan Co from Bertie Co as it empties into the Albemarle Sound. The eastern shore is anchored by the historic settlement of Edenton, where the residential and commercial grid reaches the water's edge at Reedy Point. Inland, the landscape transitions into a mix of agricultural plots and low-lying wetlands, particularly around Pollock Swamp and the small community of Macedonia.

Across the river, the western banks are defined by more isolated peninsulas like Edenhouse Point and Black Walnut Point. The presence of Chambers Ferry Rd and Gov Eden House Rd points to the historical significance of these crossings and estates in the Chowan basin. Large tributaries like Salmon Creek wind through the western terrain, emphasizing the importance of tidal waterways to the region's development.
