2010 Map of Ransomville

About this map

Pungo Creek and the wide reaches of the Pamlico River dominate this coastal landscape, where the water has shaped both the economy and the settlement patterns of Beaufort County. Along the northern shoreline, points of land like Sullivan Point, Ward Point, and Archbell Point reach into the creek, while the southern coast is dotted with riverside communities including Island View Shores, Pine Crest, and Rest Haven. Inland, the map reveals a network of small crossroads and rural centers such as Sidney Crossroads and Burbage Crossroads, which served as the focal points for the surrounding agricultural tracts. The eastern edge features the Woodstock Savanna, reflecting the unique coastal ecology of the region. Near the river's edge, the Wades Point Post Office at Cockrell Beach stands as a significant local landmark for genealogists tracing family ties to the maritime and postal history of this riverfront district.
