2000 Map of South Creek

About this map

South Creek flows northward into the Pamlico River, defining a coastal landscape where water and land are intimately intertwined. The shoreline is punctuated by numerous family-named points and inlets, such as Tuthill Pt and Hickory Point, reflecting a history of small-scale maritime activity. A Marine Railway near the settlement of South Creek underscores the local reliance on watercraft for transport and trade. Inland, the map reveals a community centered around faith and forestry, with St Kets Church, Shady Grove Ch, and Reads Chapel serving as local landmarks. The eastern portion is dominated by the Goose Creek State Game Land, which preserves the extensive marshy "guts" and prongs like Tetterton Gut and Northeast Prong. The presence of small docks at Alliance Ldg and Wood Landing illustrates the persistence of traditional river access in Beaufort County.
