About this map

Lake Mattamuskeet dominates the northern horizon of this coastal landscape, where the Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge meets a strictly ordered grid of drainage and irrigation. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of man-made waterways, including the Hydeland Canal, Outfall Canal, and Quarter Canal, which facilitated the agricultural development of the low-lying Hyde County flats.

Settlement patterns are concentrated near the community of New Holland and the smaller enclave of Hydeland. Genealogists will find significant local landmarks such as Soule Cem and Donald Farm Cem, alongside several rural congregations including St Mary Ch and Old Richmond Ch. To the south and east, the map transitions into the protected wetlands of the Gull Rock State Game Land and Swanquarter National Wildlife Refuge, bordering Juniper Bay.
