About this map

Lake Mattamuskeet borders the northern edge of this coastal landscape, where the low-lying terrain of Hyde County meets the Atlantic Ocean. The map reveals a network of drainage infrastructure essential to this region, including the Rose Canal, Gray Ditch, and Great Ditch Rd, reflecting a long history of water management to support local settlements. Small communities and named locales such as Middletown, Nebraska, and the uniquely named Last Chance are connected by a web of rural routes like Goshen Rd and Farrow Fork Rd.

Southward, the land fragments into a series of points and bays, including Wysocking Bay and Mount Pheasant Bay. Localities like Gulrock and Mount Pleasant sit near the water's edge, while landmarks such as Browns Island and Gull Rocks mark the transition into the open sound. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the contemporary shoreline and the persistent rural character of these eastern North Carolina outposts.
