2016 Map of Pantego

About this map

The low-lying estuarine landscape of Beaufort County is defined by the meeting of drainage canals and the Pungo River. Belhaven serves as a primary hub on this sheet, situated where Pantego Creek and Cuckolds Creek converge. The town's grid is dense with local history, featuring Oddfellows Cem and several waterfront points such as Gum Point and Bivalve Point. To the west, the rural character is shaped by extensive water management features like the Broad Creek Canal and the natural wetlands of Hell Swamp. Small crossroads and landing-based settlements including Yeatesville, Pantego, and Smithtown are linked by a network of local roads such as Seed Tick Neck Rd and Free Union Church Rd. This map captures a coastal community deeply integrated with its waterways, from the residential shoreline at Norflick Shore to the points and reaches of The Narrows.
