1950 Map of New Bern

About this map

The confluence of the Neuse River and Trent River anchors this mid-century view of New Bern, North Carolina. The city's historic layout is visible through a cluster of civic and spiritual landmarks, including the Courthouse, Post Office, and a dense concentration of burial grounds such as the National Cem and Cedar Grove Cem. Beyond the developed core, the landscape transitions from the suburban neighborhoods of De Graffenried Park and James City into the dense timber and swampland of the Croatan National Forest to the south.
