About this map

The Neuse River dominates this Craven County landscape, where wide waters meet a complex network of wetlands and tidal creeks. Around Shad Cove, the river opens into a broad expanse containing Hog Island and Marsh Island, illustrating the low-lying coastal geography near New Bern. This 2016 survey documents the rural character of the region, anchored by small settlements like Askin and Bridgeton.

Inland from the river, the map reveals a drainage system defined by Swift Cr and Little Swift Creek, which snake through areas like Fisher Swamp. Local infrastructure is marked by family-named routes such as Willis Bridge Rd and Hoyle Farm Rd. The southern portion of the sheet shows the transition into more established areas near Bridgeton Cem and the residential crossroads at Washington Forks, providing a clear record of modern land use in this riverine environment.
