2013 Map of Edenton

About this map

Edenton sits at the confluence of history and the Atlantic Ocean shoreline in this coastal North Carolina survey. The town center is anchored by the Courthouse Green, a primary landmark for local historians and genealogists tracing the early development of Chowan County. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Burnt Mill Creek and Pembroke Creek, which separate the established town from outlying settlements like Yeopim and Saint Johns. Further south, the suburban expansion of Cape Colony reaches toward Horniblow Point, while the Northeastern Regional Airport marks the shift toward modern regional infrastructure. This era captures the delicate balance between the area's maritime heritage and its continued growth, visible in the network of rural roads such as Old Hertford Road and Shannon House Road that connect these waterside communities.
