About this map

The Great Dismal Swamp dominates the northwestern landscape of this Currituck County region, where the intricate network of drainage canals reveals a long history of engineering the coastal wetlands. Waterways like the Guinea Mill Run Canal, Lateral A Canal, and Roland Cr Canal define the parceling of the land, cutting straight lines through the dense swamp and agricultural fields. The settlement of Moyock serves as a northern anchor, characterized by a suburban residential pattern with themed road names such as Mustang Trl and Lariat Trl, suggesting modern development encroaching upon the historic wilderness. Toward the center, the Nc61 Airport provides a small aviation footprint amidst the vast vegetation. To the south, the terrain transitions into the namesake Black Swamp and the headwaters of Sawyers Cr, illustrating the persistent and vital role of the swamp's hydrology in shaping the geography of North Carolina's northeastern corner.
