About this map

Upper Broad Creek and the wide expanse of the Neuse River define this coastal landscape where Craven and Pamlico counties meet. The planned residential development of Fairfield Harbour stands in contrast to the surrounding wetlands and timberlands, its intricate canal system and street network including Harbourside Dr and Marina Dr reaching toward the river. To the south, the boundary of the Croatan National Forest begins, while the eastern shore is marked by small waterfront settlements such as Kennel Beach.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family burial grounds, including the Cayton Cem, Boyd Cem, and Conner Family Cem. The low-lying terrain is punctuated by significant marshlands like Gaston Swamp and Alexander Swamp, alongside numerous geographic landmarks such as McCotter Point, Rowland Point, and the Hampton Shoal that sits mid-river. The map provides a look at the modern infrastructure of the New Bern area just before the turn of the decade.
