About this map

Makelyville and the Pamlico Beach community anchor this coastal survey where the Pungo River meets the Pamlico River. The landscape is a complex network of wetlands and tidal inlets, most notably the One Thousand Marshes and Tarkiln Creek Bay. This area of Beaufort and Hyde counties is defined by its deep relationship with the water, as evidenced by the Intracostal Waterway cutting through the center of the sheet.

Local navigation and history are reflected in the numerous named points and landings, such as Old Mill Lndg and Tyson Point. Genealogists and historians will find interest in the scattered residential roads and points named for families, including Harris Point and Dave Moore Point. The map also captures the distinct boundaries of Tarkiln Neck and several marshy bays like Abel Bay and Kenyon Bay, showing the interplay of land and sound in eastern North Carolina.
