2022 Map of Pasquotank

About this map

The Great Dismal Swamp dominates the northern reaches of this coastal plain landscape, where the wetland interface meets the agricultural and transit corridors of northeastern North Carolina. Near the southern edge of the swamp, the settlement of Elizabeth City serves as a focal point for the region's commerce and navigation, situated along the Pasquotank River and the vital Intracoastal Waterway. This area preserves a deep sense of family history, evidenced by numerous small burial grounds such as the Pritchard Family Cem, Morgan Cem, and Wood Family Cem. The map illustrates the transition from rural crossroads like Pasquotank and Okisko to the industrial presence of the Lumber Mill. Regional connectivity is defined by local aviation at Crabbe Airport and the drainage network of Knobbs Cr and the Little River, reflecting a landscape defined by its proximity to the water and the swamp.
