About this map

The Adams Creek Canal and the Intracoastal Waterway dominate this coastal landscape, serving as a vital maritime corridor through Carteret County. The map details the convergence of man-made channels and natural estuaries like Core Creek and the Newport River. Along the western edge, the Croatan National Forest preserves a significant portion of the coastal pine woods, marked by local landmarks such as Graham Chapel and the historic Tram Rd.

Small fishing and farming communities appear throughout the survey, including the waterfront settlement of Crab Point Village and the inland junction at North River Corner. The map tracks the traditional transit routes of the era, from the winding New Bern Road to specialized maritime aids like the Front Range Light and Rear Range Light near the mouth of the river. Numerous small houses of worship, such as Harlowe Ch, Tuttle Grove Ch, and Live Oak Grove Ch, provide valuable touchpoints for genealogists tracing family roots in this maritime region.
