2011 Map of Core Creek

About this map

The Adams Creek Canal serves as a central artery through this coastal landscape, connecting northern waters to the Newport River. This 2011 survey documents the intricate interface of water and land in Carteret County, where established settlements like Core Creek and Seagate are surrounded by a network of tidal creeks and marshes. The map reveals a high density of residential developments along the southern shoreline, including Crab Point Village and Deer Field Shores, while the northern reaches maintain a more rural character around Craven Corner. For those studying local lineage, the Hardesty Cemetery is a significant waypoint situated north of Mill Creek. The inclusion of various private landings and basins, such as the Barge Landing Basin, illustrates the deep integration of maritime activity into the daily lives of these coastal communities.
