About this map

Alligator River and the Intracoastal Waterway dominate this coastal landscape of marshes and inlets in Tyrrell County. The settlement of Gum Neck serves as the primary upland hub, featuring a small grid of roads and several cemeteries situated near the headwaters of Gum Neck Creek. This 1950s-era topography emphasizes the water-dependent nature of the region, where access points like Gum Neck Landing and Grapevine Landing were essential for navigating the complex shoreline.
