1903 Map of New Bern

About this map

New Bern sits at the confluence of the Neuse River and the Trent River, serving as a vital transportation hub in the early 20th century. This survey reveals a landscape deeply connected by water and rail, where a designated Steamboat Route navigates the rivers and the Atlantic and North Carolina R. R. bisects the terrain. The presence of specialized sites like the Quarantine Station downstream and the Old Fort near the city center provides insight into the maritime and historical priorities of the era.
