2019 Map of South River

About this map

Lukens and the community of South River anchor this coastal Carteret County landscape, where the tides of the South River estuary dictate the geography. The map reveals an intricate network of wetland drainages and tidal guts, including Miry Gut and Rich Island Gut, which feed into the West Fork South River and East Fork South River. To the north, the shoreline is defined by prominent landforms such as Horton Point and Cedar Point, sheltering smaller water bodies like Horton Bay and Herring Pond.
