2019 Map of Fort Barnwell

About this map

The Neuse River winds through this coastal plain landscape, serving as the central geographic feature for the small settlements and agricultural tracts near the Pitt Co and Craven Co line. The historic location of Fort Barnwell stands south of the river, surrounded by a complex network of wetlands and tributaries like Village Cr and Gum Swamp. This area is defined by its water management history, evidenced by a series of engineered waterways including the Markel Canal, Shiloh Canal, and Buckleberry Canal that drainage the low-lying terrain north of the river.
