1954 Map of Seabrook

About this map

Seabrook and the surrounding coastal marshlands are defined by a complex network of tidal waterways and historic landings in this mid-century survey. The landscape is characterized by prominent peninsulas like Carrs Neck and Harris Neck, separated by the North Newport River and the Timmons River. Human settlement is concentrated on higher ground, with community hubs centered around Sunbury Ch and Palmyra Ch. Evidence of the region's aviation and maritime history is visible through Stevens Airfield and numerous river access points such as Halfmoon Landing and Drum Point Landing. The intricate drainage pattern of Payne Creek and Dickinson Creek showcases the low-lying topography where the land meets the Medway River. Notable for genealogists, the map identifies small cemeteries like Lebanon Cem and numerous Artesian Well sites scattered across Colonels Island and Eagle Neck.
