About this map

Upper Broad Creek and the wide expanse of the Neuse River dominate this coastal landscape at the transition between Craven and Pamlico counties. The 1990s waterfront reflects a mix of traditional river access points like Lees Landing and Wood Landing alongside more modern developments such as Fairfield Harbor. This survey preserves the locations of local landmarks that defined the social geography of the era, including New Bethlehem Ch and Union Chapel.

Navigation and shoreline geography are meticulously detailed, from Hampton Shoal in the river to the intricate inlets of Goose Creek and Northwest Creek. For those researching local families, the map includes specific points of interest like the Cayton Cem and Scotts Store, while the inland reaches show the expansive drainage networks of Gaston Swamp and Alexander Swamp moving toward the tidewater.
