2022 Map of Roper North

About this map

Mackeys and Skinnersville anchor this coastal landscape along the southern edge of the Albemarle Sound, where the transition from water to land is defined by low-lying wetlands and a network of drainage channels. The town of Roper sits in the southwestern corner, situated near the headwaters of Kendrick Cr. The map reveals a land heavily influenced by its proximity to the sound, with shoreline features like Batemans Beach and Learys Beach connected to the interior by a dense web of local roads such as Mackeys Rd and Holly Neck Rd. Smaller agricultural and residential nodes like Beasley, Blount, and Pleasant Grove are interspersed among the creeks and branches, including Whites Creek and Hawkins Br. Engineering of the landscape is evident in the prominent Main Canal, which cuts across the terrain to manage the drainage of these coastal lowlands.
