2010 Map of New Holland

About this map

Lake Mattamuskeet dominates the northern horizon of this coastal Carolina landscape, where the land and water are tightly integrated by an extensive network of drainage features. The geography is defined by long, straight waterways like the Outfall Canal and Hydeland Canal, which reflect a centuries-old tradition of managing the low-lying terrain of Hyde County for agriculture and habitation. Small settlements and named locales such as Hydeland, Lake Comfort, and New Holland are clustered along the primary road corridors, including Mattamuskeet Refuge Rd. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies specific points of interest like Soule Cemetery and Donald Farm Cemetery, alongside unique coastal identifiers such as The Bluff and Aromuskek Marshes. The southern portion of the area transitions into the winding Juniper Bay Creek, showing the shift from engineered canals to natural tidal drainage systems.
