About this map

The coastal marshlands and intricate inlets of Beaufort County define this landscape along the South Creek and Campbell Creek estuaries. Small riverside settlements like Spring Creek and South Creek anchor the interior, connected by a network of rural roads such as Vinegar Hill Rd and State Rd 1004. The map reveals a high concentration of named points and landings, including Hickory Point, Beargrass Point, and Old Mill Point, suggesting a long history of water-based navigation and local commerce.

Industrial features are prominent in the western portion of the sheet, where T G Slimes Pond Number One and various T G Clay Ponds indicate significant mining or processing operations. These man-made basins contrast with the natural complexity of the Pamlico River tributaries, such as Indian Island Slue and Muddy Gut. Cultural landmarks like Reads Chapel and numerous family-named points like Tuthill Point and Whitehurst Point provide valuable data for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of these waterfront communities.
