2010 Map of South River

About this map

The South River dominates this coastal landscape, serving as a primary waterway through which numerous tributaries like Eastman Creek and Mulberry Creek drain into Turnagain Bay. Small maritime communities such as Lukens and South River sit along the eastern and western banks, while Sportsmans Village is situated near the northern reach, pointing to the area's recreational and residential character. Navigation along this stretch of the Inner Banks is marked by the South River Light, which guides traffic around Horton Point. The network of roads, including Nelson Bay Rd and S River Rd, provides access to these isolated waterside settlements. Toward the south, the river forks into the West Fork South River and East Fork South River, creating a complex wetland environment characterized by points like Cedar Point and numerous small inlets including Buck Creek.
