2019 Map of Sneads Ferry

About this map

Stones Bay and the expansive New River dominate this coastal landscape, where the tides of the Atlantic Ocean meet the intricate network of the Intracoastal Waterway. The 2019 topography highlights the fishing and maritime heritage of Onslow County, anchored by the community of Sneads Ferry and the nearby Fulcher Landing. To the south, the map details the barrier island geography of Topsail Island and the residential development at North Topsail Beach. The interior transition from the wetlands of S Pocosin to the established settlements at Dixon and Holly Ridge illustrates the balance between the region's natural marshlands and its growing infrastructure. Numerous family-named points, such as Pollocks Point and Hines Point, along with small tributaries like Wheeler Creek and Everett Cr, provide fine-grained detail for local historians and genealogists studying the evolution of this waterfront corridor.
