1954 Map of Leonards Point

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Albemarle Sound and the extensive Big Swamp dominate this coastal landscape on the edge of Washington County. The transition from the open waters of the sound to the dense wetlands is marked by small settlements like Skinnersville and Pea Ridge, where human activity centers around narrow lanes and landings. Along the shoreline, Shadberry Landing and Newberry Landing indicate the historical importance of water access for this isolated community. Farther inland, the environment is shaped by a network of drainage features like Straight Creek and the Newberry Ditch. Cultural life is anchored by local congregations at Piney Grove Ch, Scuppernong Ch, and Mt Pleasant Ch. A significant portion of the southern interior is designated as a State Reservation, featuring a Lookout Tower that served as a critical vantage point over the timber and peat lands of the Inner Banks.
