1994 Map of New Bern

About this map

New Bern sits at the significant confluence of the Neuse River and Trent River, serving as a focal point for this coastal North Carolina landscape. The city's historical footprint is deeply etched into the terrain, from the National Cemetery and Cedar Grove Cemetery to the established residential patterns of Craven Terrace and De Graffenried Park. To the south, the expansive Croatan National Forest begins, dominated by the winding course of Brice Creek and Hayward Creek. This 1994 revision captures the area's mid-century infrastructure, including the Simmons-Nott Airport and the Norfolk Southern railway lines that bypass the downtown core. The map highlights the transition from the dense urban grid of the historic port to suburban developments like Trent Woods and the surrounding riverfront communities of Bridgeton and James City.
