About this map

Harvey Neck extends into the meeting waters of the Perquimans River and Albemarle Sound, forming a distinct peninsula defined by its maritime geography and military history. The most prominent installation is the Harvey Point Defense Testing Activity Airport, which occupies the eastern tip of the neck. This facility, accessed via Harvey Point Rd, represents a significant federal presence in this corner of Perquimans County.

Residential and agricultural patterns are concentrated along the spine of the neck, with local roads like Goose Nest Ln serving scattered homesites. A small connection to the area's ancestral past is preserved at Harvey Cem, located near the testing activity boundary. To the northeast, across the river mouth, the survey captures the edge of Durants Neck near Piney Point, where secondary roads like Muddy Creek Rd and Cross Neck Rd trace the shoreline of the sound.
