2019 Map of Fairfield NE

About this map

The Alligator River serves as the central artery for this coastal landscape, where the waters of the Intracoastal Waterway meet the complex wetlands of northeastern North Carolina. At the triple border of Tyrrell, Dare, and Hyde Counties, the terrain is defined by a dense network of marshes and bays including Grapevine Bay and Winn Bay. This 2019 survey shows the small settlement at Gum Neck, connected by local routes like North Gum Neck Road to the water's edge at Gum Neck Landing. The southern portion of the sheet reveals the industrial influence of the Pungo River Alligator River Canal, which cuts through the lowlands to facilitate maritime transit. Numerous family and descriptive landmarks such as Tuckahoe Point, Bear Point, and Newport News Point define the jagged shoreline, marking the intersection of land and sea in this heavily hydrological region.
