a natural lake in N Hyde County, 3½ mi. in diameter, almost a perfect circle. Not shown on the Collet map, 1770, or the Mouzon map, 1775; a map in The Political Magazine (November 1780) shows an enlarged area at the head of Alligator River. Not until 1812, on a map published in Boston, is the lake clearly shown. Within a few years it was being labeled Alligator Lake on maps. The lake now is filled by swamp drainage; its two outlets are the New Lake Fork of Alligator River and a drainage ditch leading into Pungo River. Alligator Lake, known locally as New Lake, covers approx. 6,000 acres and is 6 to 7 ft. at its deepest.
