About this map

The Newport River and its intricate network of wetlands define this Carteret County landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The town of Newport is the primary center of activity, situated near the confluence of Deep Cr and Smiths Swamp Br. To the northeast, the historic water-borne transit route of the Harlowe Canal connects toward the Clubfoot Cr drainage, passing near settlements like Harlowe and North Harlowe.

Large areas of the eastern quadrangle remain dominated by dense swamp systems, including the notable Money Island Swamp and Little Cr Swamp. The map details the transition from these natural basins to established communities such as Union Point and Craven Corner. For those tracing local development, the documentation of residential streets like Wildwood River Rdg and Munden Farm Rd illustrates the modern expansion around the historic mill sites, including Mortons Mill Pond.
