1951 Map of Middletown Anchorage

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Gibbs Point and the low-lying marshes of Hyde County define this aquatic landscape where the mainland meets the expansive Pamlico Sound. This survey, based on 1940s photography and 1950s field checks, reveals a coastal environment dominated by tidal waterways and maritime navigation hazards. The charting of Gibbs Shoal and the presence of a light south of the shoal indicate the critical nature of these waters for local mariners and commercial fishermen. Several small drainages, including Middletown Creek, Lone Tree Creek, and Burrus Cr, carve into the shoreline, illustrating the delicate interface between the sound and the mainland. The area designated as Middletown Anchorage highlights a specific zone of historical maritime utility, providing a sheltered location for vessels within the often-turbulent sound waters.
