2010 Map of New Lake NW

About this map

Phelps Lake dominates the northern horizon of this coastal plain landscape, where a precise grid of drainage canals and access roads defines the agricultural territory of Washington County. This survey captures the land-use patterns of the early 21st century, showing a highly engineered network of fields south of the shoreline. Human activity is concentrated along the lake margin via Shore Dr, while the interior is partitioned by long, straight rural routes like N.C. 1348. The map illustrates the specialized water management systems required to maintain these low-lying lands for cultivation, with numerous unnamed canals intersecting the primary thoroughfares.
