About this map

Lowland and Hobucken anchor this low-lying coastal landscape where the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the marshy terrain of Goose Creek Island. The geography is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Gum Swamp, Middle Bay, and the wide Pamlico River to the north. These brackish waters are linked by numerous named channels and guts, such as Bill Daniels Gut, Israel Gut, and Wallace Caraway Gut, reflecting a long history of water-dependent local navigation.

Landward features are concentrated along narrow corridors like Lowland Rd, where the Watson Cem serves as a genealogical marker for the community. The shoreline is punctuated by a dense series of named landmarks, from Dead Duck Point to Store Point and Eastham Creek Point, while man-made interventions like the Mouse Harbor Ditch highlight historical efforts to manage drainage and transit in this tide-influenced region of Pamlico County.
