2013 Map of Jones Bay

About this map

Hobucken sits at the northern edge of this coastal landscape, serving as a primary point of human settlement amidst a complex network of wetlands and tidal inlets. The Hobucken Bridge and Bills Creek Landing highlight the critical water-access infrastructure of Pamlico County, where the land fragmentally dissolves into Jones Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The geography is defined by numerous family-named and descriptive points, such as Persimmon Tree Point, Deadman Point, and Maiden Point, suggesting a long history of local navigation and shoreline identification. Aviation infrastructure is represented by the Bay Creek Airport near Gale Cr, while the interior remains a mosaic of marsh and drainage features like Ditch Creek and Doll Creek. This survey captures the intricate, low-lying coastal margin where the local economy and travel are inextricably tied to the fluctuating tide and the protected waters of the bays.
