2016 Map of Engelhard East

About this map

Engelhard serves as the focal point of this coastal landscape, situated where the low-lying marshes of Hyde County meet the vast expanse of the Pamlico Sound. This 2016 survey illustrates a delicate environment of tidal creeks and marshes, with the Hyde County Airport positioned amidst the wetlands northeast of the main settlement. The complex hydrology is defined by numerous waterways including Kitty Creek, Far Creek, and Waupopin Creek, all draining toward the sound. The coastline is marked by distinctive features such as Juniper Swamp Point and Shad Point, which frame the opening of Otter Creek. Along the northern reaches, the Broad Creek estuary creates a significant break in the shoreline. The map reveals the intricate relationship between the land and the Atlantic Ocean, showing how roads like Swamp RD and Goshen Back RD navigate the saturated terrain to reach the water's edge at Berrys Bay.
