About this map

Fort Landing serves as the focal point for this wetland-dominated landscape on the edge of the Little Alligator River. Located in northeastern North Carolina, the area is defined by a complex network of marshes and waterways where land and water blur into a series of points and islands. The settlement of Alligator sits further south, connected to the northern reaches by rural routes like Fort Landing Rd and Goat Neck Rd.

The presence of the Intracoastal Waterway along the eastern margin reflects the importance of maritime passage in this coastal region. Landforms such as Goat Neck and Mill Point Island underscore a topography shaped by estuarine forces. This map details the transition between mainland Tyrrell Co and the water-bound boundary of Dare Co, capturing a geography where names like Buzzard Point and Goose Pond Island hint at the local wildlife and environment.
