1997 Map of Sneads Ferry

About this map

Stones Bay and the tidal reaches of the New River dominate this coastal landscape, where the Camp Lejeune Military Reservation occupies significant shoreline acreage. The map records the interface between military land and civilian life, notably around the village of Sneads Ferry. The presence of several historic congregations, including Little Zion Ch, Yopps Ch, and Carrel Chapel, suggests a deep-rooted community structure along the primary roads leading to the water. Waterfront life is defined by a series of landings such as Stones Landing and Fulcher Landing, which served as critical access points for the local fishing and maritime economy before more modern developments like Chadwick Acres and various Mobile Home Parks began to reshape the residential pattern. The Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the southern marshes, linking Alligator Bay to the open Atlantic Ocean.
