1951 Map of Engelhard West

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Lake Mattamuskeet dominates this coastal landscape, bordered by the extensive Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge. The map reveals a complex network of drainage and boundaries, including the Jarvis Canal and the division between the Fairfield and Lake Landing districts. This mid-century survey captures the settlement of Engelhard at a time when the region's economy was deeply tied to the management of these sprawling wetlands and coastal plains. Along the roads, community life is anchored by landmarks such as Pleasant Grove Ch and the Fulford Cem, providing specific points of interest for genealogists. A Lookout Tower stands near the refuge boundary, reflecting the area's transition toward conservation and forestry management in the years following World War II.
