About this map

The coastal village of Stumpy Point serves as the focal point of this mid-century maritime landscape, situated where the land meets the expansive Stumpy Point Bay. The settlement is defined by its relationship with the surrounding waters of Pamlico Sound and the intricate network of inland bodies such as Lake Worth and Back Lake. The landscape is largely marshy and low-lying, with the Long Shoal River and Deep Creek draining the southern reaches.

A network of benchmarks and a solitary Light near the harbor entrance emphasize the area's importance for local navigation and coastal surveying. The Full Gospel Tabernacle stands as a primary community landmark, while Kazer Point and East Lake define the northern and southern geographic limits. Transportation is tied to the coast, with Route 264 providing the only terrestrial artery through this wetland-dominated environment during the early 1950s.
