1949 Map of Core Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Intracoastal Waterway dominates this coastal landscape, cutting a straight path through the Adams Creek Canal toward the wider Core Creek and Newport River. This mid-century survey illustrates a region where maritime traffic and forest management intersect, with the eastern edges of the Croatan National Forest and Croatan Game Land reaching toward the water. A network of small rural settlements and community centers like Crab Point Village and Core Creek are connected by the New Bern Road. Local history is preserved in the placement of several country churches, including Harlowe Ch, Graham Chapel, and Tattles Grove Ch, which served the scattered residents living among the creeks and marshes. The map also highlights industrial and navigational landmarks such as the Barge Landing Basin and various range lights and daybeacons used to guide vessels through these shallow tidal reaches.
