About this map

The Neuse River and Trent River converge at New Bern, shaping a landscape where maritime history meets modern development. The town's historical depth is evident in its numerous burial grounds, including the prominent New Bern National Cemetery and the centrally located Cedar Grove Cem. These sites, along with Evergreen Cem and Bern Cem, offer significant research value for those tracing the lineage of North Carolina's early capital.

Suburban growth is visible in neighboring Trent Woods and the residential layout of Craven Terrace, while the Coastal Carolina Regional Airport and the Alfred A Cunningham Bridge anchor the region's transport infrastructure. To the south, the expansive Croatan National Forest and the Brice Creek Pocoson represent the preserved coastal wetlands that define the area's natural boundary. Smaller settlements like James City, Bridgeton, and Thurman dot the riverbanks, connected by major arteries like M L King Blvd.
