About this map

Edenton sits at the head of the Albemarle Sound, its street grid centered on the Courthouse Green and bounded by the waters of Pembroke Creek. This 2010 survey illustrates the town's coastal expansion, showing residential developments like Cape Colony and the nearby Edenton Municipal Airport. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed plotting of local burial grounds, including the Beaver Hill Cemetery, Vine Oak Cemetery, and Johnston Cemetery, which are preserved alongside family-named landmarks like Hayes Farm Rd.

The landscape transitions from the urban center of Chowan County to the rural reaches of Barber and Saint Johns further inland. Waterways like Burnt Mill Creek wind through the northern territory, while the southern shoreline is defined by prominent coastal markers such as Cherry Point, Horniblow Point, and the distinctively named Cactus Sandy Point. The map provides a precise look at the modern road network, including Yeopim Rd and Old Hertford Rd, which connect these waterfront settlements.
