About this map

Schoolhouse Landing and Pamlico Beach anchor the lower reaches of the Pungo River in this coastal Beaufort County landscape. The area is defined by its intricate network of waterways, where the river meets the Pamlico River at points like Adams Point and Wades Point. Inland from the river, small settlements such as Makleyville are connected by a web of local routes including NC-1776 and Wrights Creek Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named points and coves that dot the shoreline, such as Harris Point, Wilkins Point, and Dave Moore Point. The geography reveals a tradition of water-access living, with numerous "guts" and bays like Great Gut Bay and Liniar Bay carving into the low-lying Tarkiln Neck. This survey preserves the placement of residential enclaves and seasonal landings before the shifting tides and modern development alter the coastal fringe.
