1949 Map of Point Of Marsh

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Piney Island dominates this maritime landscape at the confluence of Pamlico Sound and the Neuse River. The map captures a complex shoreline of brackish marshes and intricate waterways, where the land fragmentizes into features like Rattan Spit and Westward Point. Significant for maritime history and navigation, the area includes several light stations such as Point of Marsh Lt and Cedar Island Bay Lt, marking the transition between open sound waters and protected bays. Internal water bodies like Rattan Bay, South Bay, and West Bay illustrate the tidal nature of the terrain. A solitary Landing Strip and the small cove of Henry Hills Harbor provide the few indications of human infrastructure in this predominantly wetland environment, which remains defined by its shifting points and bays like Newstump Point and Dowdy Bay.
