1950 Map of Point Of Marsh

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Pamlico Sound and the Neuse River converge at the Point of Marsh, a marshy peninsula that dominates the entrance to these North Carolina waters. The landscape is defined by intricate tidal fingers and expansive flats, including Piney Island and the northern reaches of Cedar Island. This post-war survey illustrates a coastal environment governed by the rhythm of the tides, where small protected pockets like Henry Hills Harbor and Peters Cove offer respite from the open sound. Navigation is supported by established markers such as Point of Marsh Lt and Cedar Island Bay Lt. The map reveals a complex network of internal waterways like The Narrows and Meredith Bend, which separate the islands from the mainland of Hunting Quarters. This area, primarily salt marsh and wetland, showcases the shifting shorelines of Rattan Bay and South Bay before modern coastal alterations.
