2013 Map of Core Creek

About this map

Core Creek and its neighboring coastal communities define this landscape where the Adams Cr Canal meets the wider coastal waterways. The map illustrates a high degree of maritime connectivity, featuring the Harlowe Canal and the Barge Landing Basin, reflecting the area's reliance on both natural and engineered water routes. Residential developments such as Crab Point Village, River Heights, and Deer Field Shores cluster near the banks of the Newport River and the North River, showing the modern settlement patterns of the early 21st century. Smaller named points like Lawton Point and Penn Point along with hazards like Turtle Rock and White Rock indicate a geography shaped by long-standing navigation. The presence of several distinct "Corners"—including Craven Corner and North River Corner—points to the intersection of old inland road networks with the tidewater economy.
