1953 Map of Fairfield NE

About this map

The Alligator River serves as the dominant geographic spine of this coastal landscape, where the borders of Tyrrell, Dare, and Hyde counties converge amidst an intricate network of marshes and bays. The map reveals the low-lying terrain of Gum Neck and Buck Island, punctuated by small maritime outposts like Gum Neck Landing and Grapevine Landing. These points of access were critical for the local economy and movement before modern infrastructure fully penetrated the wetlands.
