2019 Map of Hackney

About this map

The wet, low-lying landscapes of Beaufort County are prominently featured in this coastal North Carolina survey. Dominating the southern and central portions of the map are the expansive wetlands of Blount Pocosin and Reedy Pocosin, areas defined by their unique evergreen shrub bog ecology. The agricultural and drainage history of the region is evident through an extensive network of managed waterways, including the Sheppard Run Canal, Dividing Canal, and Gum Run Canal, which lace through the terrain to manage water levels. Small communities such as Hackney, McConnell, and Rover sit at the margins of these wetlands. Along the northern edge, the topography shifts toward the waters of Chocowinity Bay, where residential roads like Cypress Landing Trl and Moores Beach Rd indicate contemporary coastal development. Local family history is grounded by the presence of Edwards Cem located near Cindy Edwards Br.
