1949 Map of Long Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Cedar Island National Wildlife Refuge dominates the eastern portion of this coastal landscape, protecting a labyrinth of marshes and waterways including the Thorofare and Bull Creek. The map documents a maritime environment defined by intricate hydrologic features such as Deep Gut, Sanborns Gut, and Golden Creek. Near the southern edge, the small settlement of Salter sits along Nelson Bay, providing a point of human activity amidst the extensive Open Grounds to the west. Genealogical interest is anchored by Isaiah Cem and the Velvee Camp, reflecting the local heritage of this remote Carteret County shore. Navigational aids like the Cedar Island Light and Thorofare West Lt illustrate the importance of safe passage through Long Bay and West Bay, while an Old Canal and various ditches suggest early efforts to manage the low-lying terrain.
