1953 Map of Frying Pan

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Gum Neck defines this low-lying coastal landscape where the waters of the Alligator River and East Lake meet. Settlement is concentrated along the Frying Pan Road, leading to the small community of Frying Pan and its nearby Cem and Free Union Ch. The topography is almost entirely aquatic or marshy, with an intricate network of narrow waterways like Goose Creek and The Straits cutting through the peninsula. The presence of the Intracoastal Waterway and the Basnight Canal highlights the importance of water management and transit in this part of Tyrrell County. For genealogists and local historians, the map offers a precise look at the footprint of Frying Pan Landing and family-named points such as Lyons Point and Babbitt Bay during the mid-20th century.
