2013 Map of Ransomville

About this map

Ransomville and the surrounding coastal communities of Beaufort County occupy a landscape defined by the expansive Pamlico River and its intricate network of creeks and guts. This 2013 survey illustrates a quiet transition from the agricultural interior, marked by junctions like Burbage Crossroads and Sidney Crossroads, to the residential and recreational shoreline developments of Island View Shores and Rest Haven. Along the northern reaches of the river, numerous points of land such as Cousin Point and Chambers Point extend into the water, framing small inlets like Gaylord Bay. The presence of the Woodstock Savanna indicates a commitment to preserving the region's natural pine savanna ecosystems amidst the scattered settlements. For those interested in the area's maritime layout, the map details the complex hydrography of Pungo Cr and Jack Cr, which historically facilitated local transport and fishing long before the modern road networks of NC-1735 and NC-1718 were fully established.
