2019 Map of Edenton

About this map

Edenton sits at the junction of the Chowan River and Albemarle Sound, anchoring a landscape where coastal lowlands meet established colonial-era settlement patterns. The street grid of the town center is dense with history, featuring local landmarks such as Beaver Hill Cem and Vine Oak Cem, which provide significant value for genealogical research. To the east, the map traces the rural transition toward the Perquimans County line, crossing through smaller communities like Saint Johns and Barber. The proximity to the water is a defining characteristic, evidenced by numerous coastal features including Horniblow Point, Sandy Point, and the marshes surrounding Pembroke Creek. Moving inland, the Northeastern Regional Airport stands as a modern infrastructure anchor amidst a network of older roads like Old Hertford Rd, illustrating the continued evolution of transport in this coastal region.
