Hyde County, North Carolina
Hyde County occupies a remote, low-lying stretch of North Carolina's coast along Pamlico Sound, including Ocracoke Island, reachable only by ferry. The county has no incorporated towns — Swan Quarter, Engelhard, and Ocracoke are unincorporated communities governed directly by the county — so parcel and boundary data carry outsized weight for buyers navigating land use, flood risk, and water access across its sparse, water-dominated geography.
