New Bern sits at the confluence of two major waterways at the turn of the twentieth century, serving as a vital rail and river hub for eastern North Carolina. The landscape is defined by the broad Neuse River and Trent River, which facilitate active trade via the Steamboat Route. Inland, the Atlantic and North Carolina R. R. cuts through the lowlands, connecting settlements like Tuscarora and Clark. This era's transit network is highly dependent on the water, evidenced by the numerous specialized points such as Pettifords Old Ferry and Nelsons Old Ferry.
