1951 Map of Engelhard West

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge dominates the landscape of eastern Hyde County, encompassing the vast waters of Lake Mattamuskeet and the surrounding marshlands. Based on 1950s surveys with mid-1970s revisions, this map captures the intricate drainage network of the Carolina coast, including the Jarvis Canal and the Boundary Canal. These man-made features define the agricultural boundaries of Fairfield and Lake Landing, where land reclaimed from the wetlands supports local farming. Along the settlement corridor leading toward the village of Engelhard, researchers will find localized landmarks like Pleasant Grove Ch and Fulford Cem. A Lookout Tower positioned near the refuge boundary provides a glimpse into the mid-century management of these protected coastal habitats and the rural life that borders them.
