About this map

Lake Mattamuskeet and the expansive waters of the Atlantic Ocean define this coastal portion of Hyde County. The landscape is characterized by an intricate drainage system including Gray Ditch, Rose Canal, and Brooks Creek, which supported the agricultural development of scattered settlements like Lake Landing and Nebraska. These small communities, connected by a network of secondary roads such as NC-1116 and Nebraska Rd, reflect a rural pattern established long before this modern survey.

Coastal geography is particularly detailed along the shoreline, featuring Mackey Point, Green Point, and Browns Island. In the southern reaches, the settlements of Mount Pleasant and Gulrock sit near the mouth of Hickory Creek, where the land meets the marshy fringes of the sound. Further east, the hamlet of Middletown is positioned near Middletown Creek, providing a look at a region where land and water have dictated the limits of human habitation for generations.
