Harvey Neck and the surrounding coastal waters define this section of the Albemarle Sound region. This coastal landscape is dominated by the strategic Harvey Point Defense Testing Activity Airport, a facility situated on the peninsula between the Perquimans River and the sound. The presence of the Harvey Cem near the point serves as a small but significant link to the long-standing family history of this shoreline, while named landforms like Blount Point, Piney Point, and Harvey Point mark the irregular, marshy coast. Local roads such as Muddy Creek Rd and Cross Neck Rd connect the scattered residential pockets of Durants Neck, illustrating the remote, water-oriented character of this part of North Carolina.
