2019 Map of Yeopim River

About this map

The Yeopim River dominates this coastal landscape where Chowan Co, Perquimans Co, and Washington Co converge in the Albemarle Sound region. The settlement of Somerset sits at a crossroads near the river's south bank, while Bethel occupies the northern reaches where Bethel Creek flows into the main waterway. This map captures the intricate shoreline of the Inner Banks, defined by prominent landforms such as Drummond Point and Bluff Point. The interior landscape reveals a network of residential development, particularly around Yeopim Creek, evidenced by names like Dogwood Dr and Casters Cove Way. Genealogists may find value in the location of Philips Cem near the northern shore. The extensive wetlands bordering Middleton Creek and Burnt Mill Creek illustrate the low-lying, hydrologically complex nature of this North Carolina coastal plain environment.
