About this map

The coastal settlement of Merrimon and the surrounding maritime landscape of Carteret County are defined by a complex network of tidal creeks and peninsulas. This survey of the early 21st century highlights the dominance of the Neuse River as it meets the sound, with prominent landmarks such as Garbacon Shoal and Winthrop Point framing the shoreline. The interior is characterized by the broad expanse of Great Neck, an area deeply bisected by water bodies like Kellum Cr and Kearney Cr.

Strategic maritime infrastructure is evident in the Adams Cr Canal, which provides a protected inland passage connecting local waters to the south. Smaller features like Jerry Bay and Great Island illustrate the intricate coastal topography that has long shaped life in this part of North Carolina. Roadways such as Hunting Club Rd and Merrimon Rd reach into the finger-like peninsulas, providing access to isolated points including Cedar Point and Sandy Point.
