2016 Map of Moyock

About this map

The low-lying wetlands of the Virginia North Carolina border dominate this landscape, where the Northwest River and its tributaries carve through the coastal plain. In North Carolina, the settlement of Moyock serves as a focal point near the winding Shingle Landing Creek, while across the state line in Virginia, the communities of Saint Brides and Northwest are established along the transport corridor of Route 168. The geography is defined by a complex network of drainage and water management, including the Guinea Mill Run Canal and the sprawling Light Swamp, illustrating the long-term human effort to navigate and utilize this hydrologically active region.
