2016 Map of Leonards Point

About this map

Creswell and Scuppernong anchor the southern portion of this Washington County landscape, where the flat coastal plain of North Carolina meets the expansive waters of the Albemarle Sound. This 2016 survey illustrates a region defined by its intricate drainage and wetland systems, including the sprawling Big Swamp and Indian Swamp. The transition from the agricultural interior to the coast is marked by points such as Laurel Point and Leonards Point, which frame the opening of Bull Bay. Interior life centers around established settlements like Davenport Forks and Pea Ridge, connected by a network of rural routes such as Pea Ridge Rd and Jones White Rd. The map records specific coastal landmarks like Newberry Pitch and river access points including Deep Creek Lndg, reflecting the area's enduring relationship with the sound and its numerous creeks like Sleights Cr and Bull Cr.
