1952 Map of Sneads Ferry

About this map

Camp Lejeune Military Reservation dominates the northern reaches of this coastal landscape, bordering the expansive waters of Stones Bay and the New River. The southern half of the sheet reveals the tidal complexities of Stump Sound and Chadwick Bay, where the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the marshlands toward the Atlantic Ocean. Local commerce and transportation are anchored at Sneads Ferry, where the Sneads Ferry Bridge provides a vital link across the water. Small settlements and landings like Fulcher Landing, Sandford Landing, and Chadwick Acres dot the shoreline, reflecting the maritime character of Onslow County. Further inland, the Seaboard Coast Line railroad runs past Dixon, while local landmarks like Topps Church and Little Zion Church serve as historical markers for the surrounding community.
