1954 Map of New Lake NW

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Phelps Lake dominates the northern horizon of this coastal plain landscape, which shows the region as it was documented in 1954 and updated in the mid-1980s. The map illustrates a highly organized drainage and property network typical of the Carolina lowlands, where long, straight ditches and access roads intersect the terrain south of Pettigrew State Park. This area sits at a significant geographic junction where the Hyde, Washington, and Tyrrell county lines converge. The presence of the Old State Canal in the southeast corner reflects the historical importance of waterway engineering in managing this flat, low-lying environment. Land use is primarily characterized by large-scale agricultural or timber tracts, with limited residential development beyond the state park boundary.
