2022 Map of New River Inlet

USGS Topo · Published 2022

About this map

New River Inlet serves as the gateway between the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the intricate coastal estuaries of Onslow County. This coastal landscape is defined by its extensive barrier island system, including Topsail Island and Onslow Beach, which buffer a network of sounds and bays such as Traps Bay, Howard Bay, and Salliers Bay. The Intracoastal Waterway threads through these protected waters, providing a vital maritime corridor for the region. On the mainland, small settlements like Marines and Peru sit near the tidal marshes, while North Topsail Beach marks the developed edge of the barrier islands. The geography is shaped by numerous points and bluffs, such as Wilkins Bluff and Swan Point, highlighting the complex interaction between the river outlets and the sea. The presence of features like Hatch Rock and Long Rock within the bays illustrates the hazards and landmarks crucial to local navigation.
