About this map

The Alligator River serves as the dominant geographic feature of this Coastal Plain landscape, where the confluence of several water bodies meets a complex network of wetlands and marshes. The settlement at Gum Neck is connected to the river via Gum Neck Lndg, reflecting the area's historical reliance on water-based transit before the expansion of the road network. To the east, the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the marshlands, signaling the area's importance to modern maritime navigation.

Large expanses of swamp and marsh, such as Grapevine Marsh, are punctuated by named points including Clabber Point and Bear Point. The intricate hydrology is further defined by the Pungo River Alligator River Canal, which links the local basins. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, a distinct grid of local roads like 4th Ave W and 3rd St W suggests organized land drainage or agricultural development in the vicinity of Swan Creek Lake.
