2010 Map of Ponzer

About this map

The Pungo River dominates this coastal landscape in Hyde County, where the transition from inland agriculture to tidal wetlands is marked by numerous named points and creeks. Small settlements like Ponzer and Mount Olive anchor the rural road network, which includes Mill Creek Rd and the crossing at Wilkerson Creek Bridge. The map details a labyrinth of water bodies such as Styron Creek, Bateman Creek, and Rutman Creek that feed into the main river channel, alongside land features like Sophie Island and The Island. Landowners and local historians can trace the intricate shoreline defined by family-named landmarks including Eborn Point and Satterthwaite Point. This survey captures the low-lying coastal plain at a time when traditional water-access points remained central to the geography of the eastern Inner Banks.
