1950 Map of Jones Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Hobucken serves as a primary settlement point on this coastal landscape, situated near the north edge of the Intracoastal Waterway. The map illustrates a region dominated by intricate wetlands and tidal waters, notably the expansive Gum Swamp and the Goose Creek State Game Refuge. A fascinating relic of local industry or timbering is visible in the form of a Tramway Abandoned crossing the marshlands near Drum Creek. Along the shores of Jones Bay and the Neuse River, numerous family-named points and shoals like Bryan Point and Maw Point define the navigation of these waters. The presence of the US Coast Guard Reservation underscores the maritime importance of this transition point between the Sound and the river system. Local infrastructure is evidenced by the small Cem near the village and waterfront locations like Bills Creek Landing, hinting at a long-standing reliance on the local creek networks for transit and trade.
