2019 Map of Vanceboro

About this map

Vanceboro and its surrounding wetlands define the landscape where the Neuse River and Swift Creek converge. This survey shows the region's complex drainage network, characterized by extensive tracts of bottomland such as Baybush Swamp, Palmetto Swamp, and Mauls Swamp. These natural features have historically dictated the placement of roads and river crossings, evidenced by landmarks like Biddle Bridge and Folly Bridge. To the northwest, the settlement of Clayroot sits near the Pitt Co and Craven Co line. The town of Vanceboro itself is mapped in detail, showing a grid of local streets including Main St and Farm Life Ave near the local memorial grounds at Celestial Memorial Gardens. The map also illustrates the transition from riverine woods to agricultural holdings along routes like Streets Ferry Rd and River Rd.
