1982 Map of Stevenson Point

About this map

Durants Neck extends into the expansive waters of the Albemarle Sound and the Little River, showcasing the coastal geography of Perquimans County in the early 1980s. This orthophotomap combines traditional topographic data with aerial imagery, revealing the distinct boundaries between land and water along this maritime peninsula. Small coastal settlements such as Carolina Shores and Leighs Temple occupy the northwestern corner of the neck, while the shoreline is protected in places by a Seawall near Reed Point. A maritime Light sits offshore in the sound, marking the navigational hazards where the county lines of Pasquotank, Perquimans, and Tyrrell converge in open water. The map's detail provides a clear view of the land-use patterns on the peninsula, contrasting wooded areas and open fields with the surrounding aquatic environment.
