1942 Map of Spicer Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Thomas Landing serves as a lone outpost on this stretch of the Onslow County coast, where the Inland Waterway threads behind a series of barrier islands. This wartime survey, conducted by the War Department and Corps of Engineers, details a landscape where salt marshes and tidal creeks define the interface between land and sea. Numerous small bays, including Spicer Bay, Goose Bay, and Roger Bay, are tucked behind the protection of Permuda Island and Ashe Island. The topography reflects a period before heavy coastal development, emphasizing the natural hydrology of Turkey Creek and King Creek as they drain into the sound. The vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean dominates the sheet, illustrating the maritime character of this region during the early 1940s.
