2022 Map of Middletown Anchorage

About this map

Pamlico Sound dominates this coastal landscape in Hyde County, where the vast water of the sound meets the low-lying shoreline of North Carolina. The map focuses on the aquatic geography of Middletown Anchorage, a named sheltered water area used for vessel harbor. The transition from land to sea is marked by Gibbs Point and the submerged hazards of Gibbs Shoal, emphasizing the maritime character of this region. On the small portion of land visible in the northwest corner, local infrastructure is limited to Goshen Rd and Collins Ln, suggesting a sparsely populated coastal environment where the focus remains on the water. This 2022 survey illustrates the contemporary shoreline and bathymetric features that have long influenced navigation and fishing in the sound.
