1949 Map of Point Of Marsh

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Piney Island dominates this coastal landscape where the Neuse River meets Pamlico Sound. This maritime environment is defined by complex shorelines and intricate water bodies, from the sheltered Henry Hills Harbor to the sweeping Meredith Bend. The interior of the island contains a Landing Strip, reflecting mid-century aviation infrastructure in this remote wetland. Maritime navigation is a clear priority, evidenced by the Point of Marsh Lt o and the Cedar Island Bay Lt o positioned to guide vessels through the coastal sound. The map details numerous named points and coves, such as Peters Cove and Hammock Point, illustrating how local geography was identified by fishermen and mariners. To the east, smaller landforms like Big Swan Island and Little Swan Island dot the expanse of West Bay.
