About this map

Fairfield Harbour sits at the confluence of the Neuse River and Northwest Cr, a landscape defined by deep water access and a complex network of residential canals. This 2013 survey details the nautical character of the Craven County shoreline, highlighting the Northwest Creek Marina and the intricate residential street plan of the harbour community. The terrain is marked by numerous low-lying geographical points such as McCotter Point and Rowland Point, which frame the entrance to the Upper Broad Cr system.

Further east, the map reveals a more traditional coastal pattern of isolated landings and small settlements. Locations like Lees Landing and Scotts Store serve as inland anchors, while Kennel Beach and Carraway Bay occupy the more exposed reaches of the riverbank. The extensive Alexander Swamp and the drainage of Goose Cr indicate the significant wetlands that shape the local geography and restrict development to the higher ridges and coastal fringes.
