The labyrinthine wetlands and tidal guts of eastern Carteret County dominate this coastal landscape. Significant portions of the interior are defined by the Open Grounds, where a network of drainage canals and straight roads like Nelson Bay Rd meet the jagged shoreline of the Thorofare. The map details an environment where land and water are inextricably linked, featuring numerous small inlets such as Sanborns Gut and Deep Gut that feed into larger bodies like West Bay.
