About this map

Core Creek and its neighboring waterways define the coastal geography of Carteret County in this modern survey. The Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the center of the sheet, connecting the Adams Creek Canal to the south. Along the western edge, the Croatan National Forest borders tidal waters like Alligator Cr and Clubfoot Cr, reflecting the region's preserved wilderness. To the south and east, the landscape transitions into the residential and commercial hubs of Morehead City and Beaufort, where infrastructure reaches out to Lawton Point and Penn Point.

Smaller established communities such as Crab Point Village, Deer Field Shores, and North River are visible alongside specialized landmarks like the Dead Cow Field and the Hunting Club. Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named routes such as Hardesty Cemetery Rd and Ball Farm Rd that bridge the gaps between the dense marshlands and the rising developed areas of the North Carolina coast.
