2013 Map of Engelhard East

About this map

Engelhard sits at the edge of a meticulously ditched coastal landscape, where the agricultural grid of Hyde County meets the intricate finger-creeks of the Pamlico Sound. This 2013 survey documents a geography defined by its relationship to water, from the industrial-scale drainage canals in the interior to the jagged shoreline of Berrys Bay and Far Cr. The landform is characterized by numerous prominent points that reach into the sound, including Shad Point, Juniper Swamp Point, and Pingleton Point. Transport is anchored by the diagonal line of Highway 264, which links the small street grid of Engelhard—including Hill St and Golden St—to the wider region. Beyond the settled areas, the map reveals a vast expanse of swamp and marshland drained by Waupopin Cr and Swan Cr, showcasing the persistent effort to manage the low-lying terrain of the North Carolina coast.
