2022 Map of Williston

About this map

Coastal hamlets and intricate salt marshes define the landscape of eastern Carteret County, where the southern boundary meets the Atlantic Ocean and Core Sound. This survey captures the network of small fishing and boat-building communities such as Smyrna, Williston, and Otway as they appeared in the early 2020s. The northern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the vast Open Grounds area, while the southern reaches are fragmented by tidal waters like Jarrett Bay and Leopard Cr. Local genealogical value is found in the many family-named roads and landmarks, including Amos Gillikin Rd and Donnie Davis Rd. The map illustrates how US Route 70 serves as the primary artery connecting these maritime settlements, bridging the gaps between North River and the complex drainage of Ward Cr and Gillikin Cr.
