About this map

Batemans Beach and the shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean define the northern edge of this coastal North Carolina landscape. This 2013 survey records a network of rural settlements and agricultural corridors, including the primary community of Roper in the southwest corner and Mackeys along the banks of Mackeys Cr. The presence of S Lees Saw Mills near the junction of Kendrick Cr and the Main Canal points to the area's long-standing reliance on timber and water-based transit.

Moving inland, the map shows smaller crossroads and named locales such as Pleasant Grove, Beasley, and Skinnersville, connected by established routes like Mackey Ferry Rd. The hydrography, characterized by Whites Cr, Hawkins Br, and Old Mill Cr, illustrates the drainage patterns typical of this low-lying region, where small bridges and rural roads like Backwoods Rd navigate the wetlands and woods.
