About this map

The coastal communities of Davis and Sealevel anchor this coastal survey, where the intricate shoreline of Carteret County meets the Atlantic Ocean. This maritime landscape is defined by its points, hummocks, and islands, reflecting a community deeply tied to the water. In the northern reaches, Masontown and Stacy sit near the head of Cedar Creek, while the southern portion of the map is dominated by the marshy complex of Davis Island and Davis Ridge.

Genealogical interest is found in the local burial grounds of Murphy Cemetery and Stacy Cemetery, while the infrastructure of the local economy is evidenced by Davis Landing and the Davis Post Office. The numerous named coastal features, such as Cotton Hammock, Salters Lumps, and The Spit, illustrate a finely detailed vocabulary of the barrier sound environment. Roadways like Stacy Loop Rd and Nelson Neck Rd connect these outlying coastal settlements before they give way to the expansive marshes and open water.
