1999 Map of Shiloh

About this map

The North River and the Pasquotank River define this coastal landscape on the Albemarle Peninsula, where vast wetlands meet established rural communities. Settlement centers like Shiloh and Indiantown are connected by a network of roads that navigate around the Great Swamp and Run Swamp. The map details a landscape deeply tied to the water, featuring Elizabeth City Beach and Taylors Beach along the Pasquotank, while the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the southwestern corner. Inland, the presence of numerous small Cem sites and the New Shiloh Ch reflect the area's genealogical depth. Land use is a mix of agricultural fields, sandpits, and large protected areas, notably the State Game Land surrounding the tidal reaches of the North River and its tributaries like Indiantown Creek and Bullfrog Creek.
