1951 Map of Merrimon

About this map

Merrimon and the surrounding coastal wetlands of Merrimon Township No 5 are defined by the convergence of the Neuse River and the Adams Creek Intracoastal Waterway. This survey illustrates a landscape deeply connected to the water, where settlements like Great Neck are separated by a complex network of tidal creeks including Dumpling Cr, Courts Cr, and Kellum Cr. The presence of several community anchors, such as Merrimon Ch, Reels Chapel, and Antioch Ch, alongside the Adams Creek Sch, highlights the social fabric of these rural peninsula communities during the mid-20th century.
