About this map

The Neuse River dominates this portion of Craven County, forming a wide aquatic corridor that separates the northern reaches of New Bern from the surrounding lowlands. Along the river's winding course, landforms like Hog Island and Marsh Island sit adjacent to residential and recreational pockets including Gatlin Beach and Shad Cove. The landscape transitions from the urbanized streets of the city's northern edge, such as Glenburnie Rd and Bosch Blvd, into a mosaic of wetlands and small rural communities.

To the north and east, the map documents a network of swamps and creeks, including Fisher Swamp, Morgan Swamp, and Swift Creek, which define the drainage patterns of the coastal plain. Small crossroads and historically rooted settlements like Askin, Rowes Corner, and Dickerson are linked by rural routes such as Askin Brick Rd and Aurora Rd. This survey provides a clear view of the intersection between modern development in New Bern and the persistent natural watercourses of the tidewater region.
