The settlement of Fairfield sits at the southern edge of this coastal landscape, where the managed water systems of Hyde County meet the natural reaches of New Lake. This 2016 survey illustrates the complex hydraulic geography of the region, defined by major transit arteries like the Intracoastal Waterway and the Pungo River-Alligator River Canal. These engineered channels are flanked by local drainage and transport features including the Swindells Canal and Florida Canal, which cut through the low-lying terrain to support the area's agricultural and maritime needs.
