1994 Map of New Bern

About this map

The Neuse River and Trent River converge at the heart of New Bern, defining the city’s historic layout and waterfront character during the mid-1990s. The urban core is detailed with civic landmarks like the Courthouse, Union Point, and Craven Terrace, while the surrounding landscape reflects a mix of suburban growth in Trent Woods and industrial transport along the Atlantic and East Carolina RR. This survey provides significant genealogical value, documenting numerous burial grounds including the National Cem, Cedar Grove Cem, and Barn Cem. South of the rivers, the geography transitions into the dense woodlands of the Croatan National Forest, where the winding course of Brices Creek carves through the timberland. This document captures the city just before the turn of the millennium, showing the proximity of historic urban neighborhoods to the sprawling Simmons-Nott Airport and newer developments like James City.
