2010 Map of Scotia

About this map

Scotia stands at the northern edge of this coastal North Carolina landscape, where a grid-like network of rural roads and canals defines the agricultural and timber-driven character of Tyrrell County. The map reveals the intricate drainage systems necessary for this low-lying region, anchored by the Basnight Canal and the natural winding path of the Northwest Fork Alligator River to the south. Local transit is facilitated by routes such as Gum Neck Rd and the evocatively named Frying Pan Rd, which navigate the reclaimed swamp lands and timber tracts. This survey provides a precise look at the hydrology of the area, including Juniper Creek, illustrating the delicate balance between the natural wetlands and the maintained infrastructure of the early 21st century.
