This Eastern North Carolina map (created with Google Maps) is a branch of the North Carolina Travel Map that we’ve created for the entire state.
This map, like those dedicated to Central and Western North Carolina, alphabetically features specific counties and attractions within each one.
First, we will break down what makes up Eastern North Carolina before sharing the embedded map and attractions listed. Many of these locations are linked to individual North Carolina travel guides we’ve created.

Eastern North Carolina Map Defined
Before sharing the embedded map, we’ll answer the question: “What makes up Eastern North Carolina?”
Typically, Eastern North Carolina is defined as the area east of the Fall Line that runs all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. It occupies parts of our Sandhills and all of our Coastal Plain.
To quickly answer the question, we consider Eastern North Carolina to be just east of Raleigh and Wake County and other similarly placed spots in Central North Carolina. Another boundary for us is I-95, though it is not as exact and is another reason why North Carolina geography can be frustrating.
We’ve defined its western edges from north to south as follows:
- Northampton County
- Halifax County
- Nash County
- Johnston County
- Harnett County
- Cumberland County
- Hoke County
- Scotland County
Along with the above borderland counties, here are all 41 Eastern North Carolina counties included in this guide:
- Beaufort County
- Bertie County
- Bladen County
- Brunswick County
- Camden County
- Carteret County
