About this map

Lake Mattamuskeet and the expansive waters of the Pamlico Sound dominate this coastal Hyde County landscape. The geography is defined by a complex network of drainage features like Gray Ditch, Rose Canal, and Great Ditch Rd, reflecting a long history of water management and agricultural labor in the Lowcountry. Small, dispersed settlements such as Gulrock, Lake Landing, and the curiously named Last Chance are connected by local routes like Gull Rock Rd and Nebraska Rd. The southern shoreline is deeply indented by numerous coves and bays, including Wysocking Bay and Mount Pleasant Bay, while offshore features like Browns Island and Gull Rocks point to the area's maritime character. This map provides a look at the interplay between land and water in one of North Carolina's most distinctive coastal regions.
