1953 Map of Fort Landing

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Fort Landing and the surrounding marshy landscape of Tyrrell County sit at the strategic confluence where the Little Alligator River meets the broader Alligator River. This mid-century survey reveals a coastal community defined by its proximity to the water, where small settlements like Alligator and Goat Neck are interconnected by a network of landings and small chapels. Genealogists will find interest in the cluster of local landmarks including Wesley Chapel, Mt Maria Ch, and Alligator Chapel, reflecting the area's social fabric.
