About this map

Sneads Ferry serves as the central hub of this coastal survey, where the New River widens significantly before reaching the Atlantic Ocean. The landscape is defined by its maritime infrastructure, including several historic waterfront access points such as Stones Landing, Foys Landing, and Fulcher Landing. The presence of the Sneads Ferry Bridge at Pollocks Point and Ferry Point highlights the long-standing importance of this crossing for regional connectivity near Dixon.

The topography is intricately shaped by tidal creeks and coastal points, with Stones Creek and Millstone Creek feeding into the estuary. Numerous family-named landmarks like Jarretts Point and Hines Point offer valuable data for local genealogists tracking historical land use. To the south, the transition toward the coast is marked by Sandford Landing and the New River Inlet Road, reflecting the area's development around its water-based economy.
