About this map

Chocowinity Bay and its northern shoreline at Fork Point define the coastal landscape of this 2016 survey, where the lowlands of Beaufort and Craven Counties meet. The interior is characterized by a complex network of wetlands and drainage features, including the broad Juniper Swamp and specialized terrain like Reedy Pocosin and Blount Pocosin. This region's agricultural and hydrologic history is visible in the numerous engineered waterways such as Island Canal, Lot Canal, and the Sheppard Run Canal.

Small settlements like Hackney, McConnell, and Rover are scattered across the landscape, connected by rural roads that navigate around the meandering Chocowinity Creek. Genealogists may find interest in the Edwards Cem, located near the center of the sheet. The map also captures the modern residential development along the bay, notably around Cypress Landing Trail and Moores Beach Road, contrasting with the more isolated reaches of Gum Swamp Run to the south.
