1997 Map of Stevenson Point

About this map

Durants Neck dominates this coastal survey, reaching south into the wide waters of the Albemarle Sound. This peninsula is a landscape defined by its relation to the water, bordered on the north by the Little River and marked by distinct landform extremities like Stevenson Point and Reed Point. The small settlement of Leighs Temple sits at the northern edge of the neck, while the development at Carolina Shores represents the modern residential footprint along the western shore. A prominent Seawall runs along the southern tip of the neck, indicating active coastal management where the land meets the sound. Farther out in the water, a solitary Light serves as a navigational marker for those traversing the sound, while the county boundaries between Pasquotank, Perquimans, and Tyrrell intersect in the open water.
