About this map

Saint Pauls serves as the central hub of this North Carolina coastal plain landscape, where the town's grid meets the surrounding agricultural and swamp lands. The area is defined by its numerous "bays"—distinctive elliptical depressions such as Evans Bay, Davis Bay, and Lammon Bay—and the slow-moving waters of Little Marsh Swamp and Big Marsh Swamp. These wetlands dictate the patterns of local development, with settlements like Oakland and Tobermory established on the slightly higher ground between the swamps.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks including the McKinnon Cemetery, Fisher Cemetery, and McMillan Cemetery. The transportation network is anchored by Rozier Siding and the presence of the I-95 South Airport, reflecting the region's movement of goods and people. Unique landform labels like Horse Neck and Buies Neck provide a look at how early inhabitants identified specific stretches of land nestled between the winding creek branches.
