2010 Map of South Creek

About this map

The Pamlico River dominates the northern reaches of this coastal landscape, where numerous points and guts define the intricate shoreline of the South Creek estuary. Small landings and hamlets such as Sandy Landing, Alliance Landing, and Tetterton Landing mark the historical intersection of water-based transport and rural life. Further inland, the settlements of Vinegar Hill, Jones, and Campbell Creek are connected by a network of local roads like Gum Lumber Rd and Hickory Point Rd. Large industrial impoundments, including T G Slimes Pond Number One and several clay ponds, indicate the significant footprint of local mining or processing operations near the water's edge. This map also preserves the location of Reads Chapel, providing a localized anchor for genealogists and researchers of Beaufort County's community history.
