About this map

Gum Neck Landing and Grapevine Landing anchor the edge of this low-lying coastal landscape, where the Alligator River meets a network of bays and points. The area is defined by its isolation and water-dependent infrastructure, notably the Pungo River Alligator River Canal which cuts through the southern reaches. A grid of local roads, including Buck Ridge Rd and various numbered avenues, provides access to inland locations like Buck Island, surrounded by wetlands and secondary waterways such as Gum Neck Cr. To the east, the map captures the transition into the Atlantic Ocean and the intricate shoreline marked by locally named landmarks like Rattlesnake Bay, Newport News Point, and Clabber Point. The presence of Swan Creek Lake in the southeast corner further emphasizes the saturated, hydraulic nature of this coastal North Carolina environment.
