2022 Map of Hoke

About this map

Hoke sits at a low-lying crossroads where the borders of Beaufort, Martin, and Washington counties converge in eastern North Carolina. This coastal plain landscape is defined by vast wetland systems, most notably the East Dismal Swamp and Van Swamp, which are crisscrossed by drainage infrastructure like No 2 Canal and Windley Canal Rd. The map illustrates a rural settlement pattern where family-named thoroughfares such as Ange Town Rd, Baynor Town Ln, and Latham Ln serve isolated homesteads and agricultural tracts. Waterways like Mose Swamp and Welch Cr further delineate the saturated terrain, while the straight-line paths of Long Ridge Rd and Barber Number 2 Rd highlight the human effort to navigate and manage this complex hydrological environment.
