1951 Map of Pamlico Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The wide confluence of the Pungo River and the Pamlico River dominates this coastal landscape on the border of Hyde and Beaufort Counties. Small fishing and riverside settlements such as Makleyville, Pamlico Beach, and Moores Beach line the intricate, creek-fed shorelines. The map captures the specialized local geography of the inner banks, where complex marshlands like One Thousand Marshes and numerous small guts and points define the transition from land to water. Cultural landmarks provide depth for local history, including St Mahala Chapel, Pamlico Chapel, and the aptly named Schoolhouse Landing. Coastal navigators and researchers can trace the intricate network of tidal waterways branching off Slade Creek and Fortescue Creek, reflecting a community deeply tied to the sounds of North Carolina during the mid-20th century.
