2010 Map of Frying Pan

About this map

Frying Pan and its coastal surroundings occupy this 2010 topographic representation of the Tyrrell County shoreline. The landscape is defined by the expansive waters of the Albemarle Sound, where the transition from land to water is marked by numerous named features such as Lyons Point, Catfish Point, and Orange Point. The settlement of Frying Pan itself, along with the nearby Frying Pan Landing, suggests a community historically tied to the water, likely for commerce or transit across the sound. Interior navigation and drainage are illustrated by the presence of Second Creek and Goose Creek, which meander through the low-lying terrain before reaching the sound. The presence of Crane Island and its associated Crane Island Point further highlights the coastal geography and tidal character of this North Carolina region during the early 21st century.
