2013 Map of South River

About this map

Lukens and the South River settlement occupy the intricate shoreline of the South River, where the waterway meets the expansive Neuse River in eastern North Carolina. This coastal environment is defined by its dendritic drainage pattern, where numerous creeks and guts, such as Rich Island Gut and Miry-Gut, carve into the low-lying terrain. The coastal infrastructure is anchored by the South River Light, marking the passage near Horton Point and Cedar Point. To the west, Sportsmans Village represents a more concentrated residential development, accessible via Pamlico Pkwy and S River Rd. The map details the transition from open water bodies like Horton Bay and Abraham Bay to the marshy tributaries that feed into the W Fork S River and E Fork S River, providing a clear record of the region's complex coastal geography and local road networks.
