Tyrrell County elevation and terrain tools
Coast • County seat: Columbia
Tyrrell County is low peat pocosin and swamp forest between the Alligator River on its east and the Scuppernong River, which winds past Columbia to Albemarle Sound on its north. Hardly any of the ground rises above the surrounding water, and much of it is drained by ditch and canal.
