1953 Map of Fairfield NW

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Gum Neck and the surrounding coastal plains of Tyrrell and Hyde Counties appear here as a land of wetlands and water-dependent commerce in the early 1950s. The serpentine path of the Alligator River serves as the primary geographic divider, fed by the Northwest Fork and Southwest Fork. Settlement patterns are distinctly concentrated along the edges of higher ground like Long Ridge, where small communities such as Kilkenny and Piney Grove developed.
