2019 Map of Engelhard West

About this map

Lake Mattamuskeet dominates the southwestern portion of this Hyde County landscape, defining the character of the coastal plains near the shoreline. The settlement of Engelhard sits at the intersection of several local routes, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural and marshy terrain. The map reveals an intricate system of water management and drainage, notably through the Jarvis Canal and its associated Jarvis Canal Rd, which cut straight lines through the low-lying wetlands. Historically significant family and community landmarks like Fulford Cem are documented along State Rd 1311. The transition from the lake's open waters to the organized grid of roads like 1st Ave W and 2nd Ave W illustrates the persistent efforts to manage this unique North Carolina geography for transit and residency.
