1949 Map of Salter Path

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Bogue Sound separates the mainland of the Croatan National Forest from the narrow barrier islands of the Crystal Coast. In the late 1940s, the traditional fishing village of Salter Path and the adjacent Indian Beach occupy a thin stretch of the banks, long before the heavy residential development of later decades. The mainland is defined by the dense wetlands of the Croatan Game Land, where numerous water bodies like Patsy Pond and Broad Creek drain toward the Intracoastal Waterway. This survey documents a critical period of transition for the region, showing the early footprints of Emerald Isle and the inland infrastructure of the Nine Foot Road. Small-scale landmarks such as Soundview Ch and various landings along Onslow Bay highlight the maritime-dependent life of these coastal communities before modern bridges and tourism reshaped the landscape.
