How to Use This Smithtown, North Carolina Map

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

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 Smithtown, North Carolina

Smithtown is a locality in Perquimans County, North Carolina, United States. It is a small community with a population of 224. The population density is 64.5 people per km². Smithtown is located at 36.2331°N, 80.5712°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 27810, 27944, 27018.

Smithtown emerges from the damp, low-lying earth where the dark, sluggish waters of the Bagley Swamp dictate the slow pace of the morning fog. It lies 13.7 miles west-southwest of Elizabeth City, NC (from Elizabeth City, NC: bearing 255°T), and is situated 14.4 miles north-northeast of Edenton. This landscape occupies a quiet corridor twelve miles from the salt-heavy air of the Atlantic Ocean, defined by its flatness and the persistent, humid breath of the coastal plain. To the west, the faint, jagged silhouette of Sandy Ridge provides a rare verticality to the horizon, grounding the vast expanse of fields that stretch toward the Perquimans County Open Space. The light here in the late afternoon possesses a peculiar, amber quality, catching the reeds near the swamp’s edge and turning the stagnant pools into mirrors of hammered copper, while the distant, low-hanging clouds suggest the proximity of the tides that never quite reach the town’s threshold.

Smithtown maintains a legacy tied to the soil and the methodical harvest of the surrounding flatlands, a cycle that has persisted since the earliest settlers recognized the value of the fertile, dark loam. The local economy remains tethered to these traditional rhythms, occasionally punctuated by the movement of timber or seasonal crops that make their way toward the regional markets. Life here is measured by the seasonal migration of birds toward Crow Point Island and the quiet maintenance of the land, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers. Residents often look toward the pale shimmer of Dillard Millpond as a place of respite, a stillness that reflects the town’s own character, where the social fabric is held together by the unspoken understanding that the land provides just enough for those who know how to work it with patience.

About This Smithtown Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Smithtown, North Carolina. Coordinates: 36.233084, -80.571195. 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 Smithtown includes the ZIP code (27810, 27944, 27018), telephone area code (919, 984, 336), county seat of Perquimans County (Hertford), and school district assignment (Yadkin County 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.
