1951 Map of Engelhard West

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Lake Mattamuskeet and its surrounding wetlands dominate this coastal North Carolina landscape, where the Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge preserves a critical habitat for migratory birds. The map illustrates a highly managed hydrological system defined by the Jarvis Canal and several unnamed canals that facilitate drainage and navigation through the low-lying terrain of Fairfield and Lake Landing. Near the shoreline, the settlement of Engelhard sits at the junction of Highway 264 and the waters of Far Cr. Local heritage is anchored by landmarks such as Pleasant Grove Ch and the Fulford Cem, while a Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel along the refuge boundary. The survey reveals a distinct pattern of land use, where narrow agricultural plots extend toward the water, separated by a network of drainage ditches that speak to the region's long history of land reclamation and tidal management.
