1997 Map of Elizabeth City

About this map

Elizabeth City sits at a strategic bend of the Pasquotank River, serving as a central hub for commerce and education in northeastern North Carolina. The map reveals a landscape defined by its relation to the water, from the Intracostal Waterway following the river's main channel to the numerous tidal flats and points like Hospital Point and Brickhouse Point. Educational institutions are prominent, including Elizabeth City State University and the College of The Albemarle, alongside smaller community landmarks like Sawyers Creek Ch and Camden Middle Sch. To the southeast, the U S Coast Guard Air Base and Elizabeth City Municipal Airport occupy a significant footprint along the shores of Davis Bay. This survey captures the transition from the dense urban grid of the city center to the outlying agricultural and marshland reaches of Pasquotank and Camden counties.
