2019 Map of New Holland

About this map

Lake Mattamuskeet dominates the northern horizon of this coastal landscape, where the southern shore meets a complex network of drainage and transportation. The settlement of New Holland sits at the junction of the lake shore and the engineered waterways that define this corner of Hyde County. To the southwest, the community of Hydeland is surrounded by a grid of agricultural land and managed wetlands, connected by roads such as Mapletown Rd and Quarter Rd. This 2019 survey documents a terrain where water management is central to the human footprint, evidenced by the prominent Outfall Canal and Phillips Canal that cut through the low-lying marshes. Genealogists will find local landmarks like Donald Farm Cem and Soule Cem preserved alongside historic water access points like Frying Pan Lndg near the lake’s edge.
