1951 Map of New Lake SE

About this map

Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge dominates the southern landscape of this coastal North Carolina survey, preserving the northern reaches of Lake Mattamuskeet. The map illustrates a highly engineered hydrologic environment where the Intracoastal Waterway Alligator River-Pungo River Canal cuts a straight line through the pocosin and swamp forest, connecting the Alligator River to the Pungo. This corridor is flanked by a complex system of drainage features, including the Florida Canal and numerous unnamed channels that define the agricultural and conservation boundaries.
