How to Use This Arrowhead Beach, North Carolina Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Arrowhead Beach, North Carolina. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of North Carolina or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Arrowhead Beach.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

It lies 26.0 miles west of Elizabeth City, NC (from Elizabeth City, NC: bearing 259°T), and is situated 16.0 miles east-southeast of Ahoskie. The landscape here is characterized by flat, fertile plains and dense woodlands that hold the humidity of the afternoon in their heavy, green shadows. Two miles away, the still waters of Dillard Millpond reflect the shifting sky, while the faint, distant silhouette of Sandy Ridge marks the horizon like a jagged promise of elevation. The air carries the scent of damp earth and pine, an atmosphere that settles over the fields and thickets of the Chowan Swamp Game Land, where the silence is broken only by the sudden rustle of wildlife in the underbrush.

Arrowhead Beach retains the character of a place built upon the labor of the soil and the quiet persistence of those who work it. The economy remains tethered to the land, echoing a history of agriculture that has shaped the region’s pace long before the modern era. Life in Arrowhead Beach moves with a steady, unforced cadence, where the daily routines of the residents are dictated by the changing seasons and the requirements of the surrounding timber and field. It is a place where the light at dusk turns the dusty roads a deep, bruised gold, illuminating the simple architecture of a community that values its distance from the frantic pulse of larger centers.

About This Arrowhead Beach Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Arrowhead Beach, North Carolina. Coordinates: 36.223212, -76.709393. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Arrowhead Beach includes the ZIP code (27932), telephone area code (919, 984), county seat of Chowan County (Edenton), and school district assignment (Edenton-Chowan Schools).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
