2019 Map of Pinetown

About this map

Pinetown and the surrounding Beaufort County lowlands are defined by an intricate network of wetlands and small agricultural communities. This coastal plain landscape is heavily shaped by drainage patterns, where Acre Swamp, Fork Swamp, and Pungo Swamp dominate the interior. The settlement pattern reflects the importance of crossroads and water access, with established locales like Everetts Crossroads and Boyds Fork serving as local hubs. Along the southern edge, the terrain transitions toward the water, where Bath Creek and Harvey Creek flow toward the Pamlico River system, framing the residential development at Peninsula Acres near Boyd Point. The presence of Oden Mill and namesake roads like Shiloh Church Rd and Free Union Church Rd points to the area's long-standing rural community foundations.
