About this map

Upper Broad Creek and the wide reaches of the Neuse River define this coastal landscape on the border of Craven and Pamlico counties. The 1974 photorevisions, marked in purple, highlight significant residential development and road expansions around Northwest Creek and the Half-Moon area, contrasting with the traditional riverine settlements. Older landmarks such as Lees Landing and Wood Landing sit alongside established community centers like Scotts Store.

The map preserves the locations of several rural congregations and resting places, including Union Chapel, New Bethlehem Ch, and the Amity Ch Cem. Along the southern shoreline, family and local place names like Mc Cotter Pt, Kendall Pt, and Kennel Beach mark the points where the land meets the river. To the southwest, the edge of the Croatan National Forest provides a glimpse into the preserved coastal woodlands of the mid-century era.
