1951 Map of Engelhard East

About this map

Engelhard serves as the primary gateway to the marshes and sounds of the Inner Banks, situated where the land meets Pamlico Sound. This 1950s-era study illustrates a landscape dominated by the transition from the Lake Landing area to the expansive coastal waters. The coastline is defined by intricate drainage systems such as Waupopin Creek and Far Creek, which are critical for the local fishing and maritime trade of the region.
