2011 Map of Upper Broad Creek

About this map

The Neuse River dominates the southern half of this landscape, its wide mouth punctuated by numerous named landmarks such as McCotter Point and Fisher Landing Point. The dense network of residential streets in Fairfield Harbour contrasts with the surrounding wetlands and traditional river landings. To the east, Upper Broad Creek and Goose Creek snake through the low-lying terrain, with Alexander Swamp filling the spaces between these waterways. Historically significant points like Lees Landing and the Cayton Cemetery reflect the long-standing human presence in this coastal environment. The map details a transition from the structured maritime community near Northwest Creek to more dispersed rural features like Scotts Store and the shoreline at Kennel Beach, offering a comprehensive look at the maritime and rural geography of eastern Craven County.
