1949 Map of Core Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Adams Creek Canal and the Intracostal Waterway dominate this coastal landscape, serving as a vital maritime corridor through the marshy lowlands of eastern North Carolina. The map documents a sparsely populated region where navigation and timber appear central to the local economy, bounded by the Croatan National Forest and the Croatan Game Land. Small settlements and crossroads communities like Core Creek, Mill Creek, and Live Oak Grove are linked by a network of rural roads such as the New Bern Road and the Turnpike. Along the Newport River, maritime activity is signaled by the presence of Front Range Light and Rear Range Light. The social fabric of the era is preserved through several rural sanctuaries, including Graham Chapel and Harlowe Ch, while Crab Point Village marks a distinct cluster of development at the southern edge of the survey.
