1951 Map of Broad Creek
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Alice and Merrimon occupy a quiet coastal landscape where the Neuse River meets Pamlico Sound. This mid-century survey, based on 1948 fieldwork and 1971 photorevisions, shows the transition from terrestrial forests to the intricate marshlands of Township No 2. Community life is anchored by Zion Hill Ch and the Florence Sch near the northern boundary, while the coastline is defined by numerous points like Skate Point and Grace Point that break the flow of Broad Creek. The geography reveals an economy tied to the water, tracing from the Hunting Quarters shoals to the secluded Swan Creek. Further south, the map details the narrow Turnagain Bay Spit and Abraham Bay, illustrating the dynamic shoreline of Carteret and Pamlico counties.
