About this map

The marshy lowlands of Hyde County meet the open waters of the Pamlico Sound in this detailed 2022 survey. Small, historic communities are scattered across the drainage-reliant landscape, including Lake Landing on the southeastern edge of Lake Mattamuskeet and the evocatively named Last Chance. The map reveals a complex network of artificial waterways like the Rose Canal, Gray Ditch, and Great Ditch Rd, which have historically been essential for managing the high water table of this coastal plain environment.

Moving toward the coastline, the terrain breaks into numerous points and bays such as Mackey Point, Wysocking Bay, and Mount Pleasant Bay. Local history and genealogy researchers can find specific hamlets like Nebraska, Gulrock, and Middletown, which are connected by a web of rural routes including Gull Rock Rd and Middle Creek Rd. The presence of features like Jeanette Hammock and Browns Island emphasizes the intricate interface between land and sea in this tidal region.
