About this map

Core Sound and Jarrett Bay dominate the coastal landscape of this 1951 study, where the low-lying terrain of Carteret County meets the water at Marsh Hen Point and Sandy Pt. Small communities such as Smyrna, Williston, and Otway are connected by a network of early roads, including Crow Hill Rd and Harkers Island Rd, which navigate the intricate marshes and tidal inlets. The geography is defined by extensive water bodies like Ward Creek and the North River, which separate the mainland into distinct sections known as the Straits and the Open Grounds. Inland, the settlement of Bettie and the Woodville Church serve as focal points for the rural population living near Deep Creek. This map captures the coastal infrastructure before modern development, showing the proximity of family settlements to the productive waters of the sound.
