1951 Map of Pamlico Point

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Swanquarter National Wildlife Refuge dominates the northeastern reaches of this coastal survey, where the marshy expanse of Judith Island meets the waters of Pamlico Sound. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of tidal features, from the protected Judith Narrows to the exposed Pamlico Point. The map details a labyrinth of coves and bays such as Voliva Cove and Big Porpoise Bay, reflecting the hydrologic complexity of the Hyde and Pamlico County boundary. This 1951 field-checked map records the shoreline as it existed before decades of modern coastal erosion, capturing local identifiers like Yaupon Hammock Point and Shell Hill Point. The interior is largely uninhabited, preserved as a wilderness where The Blowout and Bernice Cr cut through the brackish wetlands.
