1950 Map of North Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Cedar Island and Hog Island define this coastal landscape where the waters of Pamlico Sound meet the marshy edges of Carteret County. The map captures a fragile geography of sand and salt marsh shortly after the mid-century, detailing tidal features like Snake Gut and End of Island Slough. Landmarks such as the Goodwin Hills and Point of Grass indicate the subtle elevations that guided local navigation and land use. This survey, compiled from 1946 aerial photography, documents the intricate shoreline of West Bay and North Bay before modern coastal changes, preserving the locations of historical points such as Sandy Landing and Waterbush Pt. The geography of Back Bay and narrow channels like The Passage illustrate the maritime character of this remote Carolina sound environment.
