About this map

The Little Alligator River dominates this coastal landscape where the river mouth widens into the Albemarle Sound. The settlement pattern is defined by traditional water access, with several historic landings scattered along the riverbanks, including Fort Landing, Pledger Landing, and Miller Landing. These locations reflect a long history of maritime transport and river-based commerce in Tyrrell County.

Further inland, the community of Alligator sits near the crossing of highway 64, while more remote locales like Goat Neck are accessed via rural routes such as NC-1223. The low-lying terrain is a network of marshes and points, including Lewis Point and Peartree Point, separated by man-made features like Greys Canal. On the eastern edge of the river, Sandy Point Marina and Southshore Landing mark modern points of water access for the sound's complex shoreline.
