2002 Map of New Lake NW

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

Phelps Lake dominates the northern edge of this coastal landscape, providing a clear reference point where the shoreline meets the wooded wetlands of Pettigrew State Park. The interior is defined by the expansive Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge, a region characterized by its unique pocosin peatlands and drainage systems. A network of linear canals and service roads, including the Old State Canal, cuts through the terrain, reflecting historical efforts to manage the water levels of these low-lying areas. Situated at the intersection of Washington, Tyrrell, and Hyde Counties, the map documents a largely uninhabited wilderness where conservation boundaries are the primary landmarks. The absence of traditional settlements emphasizes the importance of these protected habitats in the North Carolina coastal plain as they appeared at the start of the 21st century.
