About this map

Pinetown and the surrounding agricultural landscapes of Beaufort County are defined by an intricate network of drainage canals and creek systems that sustain the region's low-lying terrain. The map reveals a settlement pattern characterized by small community nodes such as Terra Ceia, Everetts Crossroads, and Beckwith, many of which are linked by roads named for prominent local families including Boyd Rd and Respess Rd.

Hydrological features dominate the geography, from the broad Pungo Swamp to the smaller Acre Swamp and Tankard Creek. The inclusion of landmarks like Oden Mill, Acre Bridge, and the Everett Lookout Tower provides tangible points of interest for those studying the rural infrastructure of eastern North Carolina. Near the southern edge, the map captures the transition to coastal environments at Boyd Point and Leeward Seine Beach along the upper reaches of Bath Creek, illustrating the area's deep connection to its waterways.
