Tyrrell County, North Carolina
Tyrrell County sits on the flat coastal plain along the Albemarle Sound in the state's northeastern corner, centered on Columbia, its only incorporated town, amid farmland and pocosin wetlands. More than half the county is federal wildlife refuge land, capping farmland expansion, and with North Carolina's smallest population, activity here centers on farmland and rural land sales rather than residential subdivisions.
