About this map

Core Sound and the North River define the watery landscape of eastern Carteret County, where long-established coastal settlements follow the curvature of the shore. This maritime region is characterized by a network of small creeks and points, including Marsh Hen Point and Middens Creek, which segment the land into distinct neighborhoods. The community of Otway sits at a central junction, flanked by Yucca Village and the smaller harbors of Smyrna and Williston.

North of the residential clusters along the water, the terrain transitions into the expansive Open Grounds, a largely undeveloped interior tract. Transport routes like Harkers Island Rd and Arthur Rd connect the isolated waterfront hamlets of Bettie and its neighbors. For researchers, the map traces the intricate hydrography of the North Carolina coast, from the larger Ward Creek to the narrow reaches of Jump Run and Lunch Cr.
