About this map

Pantego and Belhaven serve as the primary hubs in this coastal Carolina landscape, where the labyrinthine waterways of the Pungo River delta dictate the patterns of settlement and industry. The map illustrates a region defined by its connection to the water, from the commercial activity at Pungo Fisheries to the small residential pockets like Smithtown and Norflick Shore. These communities are linked by a network of state roads including NC-1628 and NC-1702, which navigate around the numerous creeks and inlets that carve into the Beaufort County shoreline.

Local history is etched into the terrain through family-named landmarks and geographic points such as Stotesberry Point, Fluhardt Point, and Archbell Point. The transition from land to water is marked by distinctive features like The Narrows and Graveyard Point, reflecting the intricate geography of Pungo Cr and its tributaries. Inland, smaller junctions like Bishops Cross and Wilkinson anchor the agricultural and rural stretches between the larger coastal towns.
