About this map

The Pasquotank River and the Albemarle Sound converge at this coastal point of North Carolina, where the Intracostal Waterway cuts through the marshy lowland. This map details the rural character of Camden County at the end of the 20th century, centered on small crossroads communities like Old Trap and Glen Cove. The landscape is dominated by tidal creeks and inlets, including Newbegun Creek and Little Flatty Creek, which separate small points of land like Wade Point and Bank Point.

Local landmarks such as Wesley Ch and New Salem Ch appear alongside numerous small cemeteries, providing valuable points of reference for genealogical research. The shoreline shows the remains of coastal infrastructure at Wharf Bay and Sound Landing, while the interior remains largely rural with scattered settlements such as Texas. Large swampy tracts like Beaverdam Swamp illustrate the drainage patterns that have historically shaped development along the Albemarle Sound.
