About this map

Germantown and Scranton anchor this coastal landscape in Hyde County, where the terrestrial world meets the complex inlets of the Atlantic Ocean. The geography is defined by a deep network of peninsulas and points, including Watch Point, Ranger Point, and Spencer Point, which frame the low-lying shoreline. This area of the Inner Banks shows a pattern of agricultural drainage and rural roads such as Puddin Hill Rd and Lynnsburg Rd that serve isolated farmsteads and small settlements like Sladesville.

Waterfront activities are evident at Stave Landing and the Bell Island Recreation Area, while navigation is influenced by offshore features like Swan Point Shoal and Middle Shoal. The presence of the Garrish Farm Airport near the center of the quadrangle suggests the importance of private aviation in managing these large coastal landholdings. To the east, Rose Bay marks a significant indentation in the coast, fed by Rose Bay Creek, illustrating the characteristic transition between mainland farm fields and the brackish marshlands of eastern North Carolina.
