1950 Map of Long Bay

About this map

Hunting Quarters and the Open Grounds dominate this mid-century coastal survey of Carteret County, where a complex network of marshes, guts, and creeks meets the Pamlico Sound. The landscape is defined by its maritime isolation, with early infrastructure indicated by a prominent Telephone Line stretching toward the settlement of Salter. Navigational aids like the Cedar Island Light and Thorofare West Day Beacon underscore the importance of the local waterways, including the Old Canal and West Thorofare Bay.
