1953 Map of Fairfield NE

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Gum Neck and the surrounding marshlands of Tyrrell County define this coastal landscape, where the Alligator River meets the sound. This mid-century survey, based on hydrography from the 1930s and aerial photography from the late 1940s, reveals a network of waterways essential to the region's geography, including the Alligator River Canal and East Lake. Small settlements like Gum Neck Landing and isolated landmarks such as Grapevine Landing indicate the importance of water access for local transit and commerce.
