Beaufort County elevation and terrain tools
Coast • County seat: Washington
Beaufort County is flat coastal plain split in two by the Pamlico River, which widens from the Tar at Washington into a broad tidal estuary. Low pocosins and swamp woods spread between the river and the Pungo River on the east, with level fields on the slightly higher ground.
