1903 Map of New Bern
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
New Bern serves as the focal point of this coastal North Carolina landscape, situated at the strategic confluence where the Neuse River and Trent River meet. At the turn of the twentieth century, the region was defined by a complex network of water-based commerce and early rail infrastructure. Steamboat routes follow the deep channels of the rivers, supported by numerous landings like Spring Garden Landing and Whitford Landing. The map highlights the transition from river travel to rail, as the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad cuts across the terrain through settlements like Tuscarora and Jasper.
