How to Use This Lowland, North Carolina Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lowland, 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 Lowland.

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.

About Lowland, North Carolina

Lowland is a locality in Pamlico County, North Carolina, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 12.0 people per km². Lowland is located at 35.2991°N, 76.5644°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 28552.

Lowland holds the flat, marshy character of a landscape defined by its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. It lies 30.1 miles east-northeast of New Bern, NC (from New Bern, NC: bearing 64°T), and is situated 34.7 miles north-northeast of Havelock. The horizon here remains stubbornly level, a vast expanse of low-lying earth where the air often carries the sharp, salt-crusted scent of the tides pushing against the shoreline just three miles away. To the west, the land yields to the dense, quiet thickets of Goose Creek Game Land, a sprawling sanctuary that acts as a buffer between the human imprint and the wild, encroaching greenery. Nearby, the dark, slow-moving waters of James Creek carve a serpentine path through the soil, reflecting the heavy, bruised colors of a storm front or the pale, washed-out gold of a winter sunrise.

Generations in Lowland have looked toward the water to sustain a rhythm dictated by the cycles of the harvest and the catch. The proximity to Goose Creek Island anchors the local identity, fostering a culture deeply aligned with the realities of maritime navigation and the patience required of those who work the flats. While the distant, faint silhouette of Buck Ridge occasionally haunts the far western skyline on exceptionally clear days, the life of the inhabitants remains tethered to the immediate, humid reality of the coastal plain. Economic life here moves with the deliberate pace of a place that understands the necessity of endurance, far removed from the frantic pace of the state’s urban centers, finding its only stillness in the quiet, reflective surface of T G Slimes Pond Number One during the long, sweltering afternoons.

About This Lowland Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lowland, North Carolina. Coordinates: 35.299056, -76.564372. 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 Lowland includes the ZIP code (28552), telephone area code (910), county seat of Pamlico County (Bayboro), and school district assignment.

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.
