1953 Map of Engelhard NW

About this map

The vast wetland interior of coastal North Carolina is captured here in the mid-20th century, dominated by the low-lying terrain of East Lake and Lake Landing. This aquatic landscape is defined by the flow of the Alligator River and the intricate network of internal basins like Whipping Creek Lake and Swan Creek Lake. The map reveals a wild, saturated environment where drainage patterns are often unclear, noted by several instances of an Indefinite Boundary through the marsh and pocosin.
