There was an old landing on the Neuse River known as Nelson's Landing or Clark's Landing that still shows up on some newer maps of Lenoir County for some reason, even though the landing has long since been abandoned. It was on the north bank of the Neuse, just upstream from the current DuPont plant and across the river from another landing known as West's Landing. Nelson's Landing was on land that was once known as the Clark-King Plantation and that was owned after the Civil War by John Nelson. I assume that steamboats from New Bern used to stop there. I've heard that there was a road that ran along a ridge all the way to the river from what is now Highway 11 to the landing. There are remnants of an old slough in the general vicinity of Nelson's Landing, but as far as I can tell, no sign of an old dock or pier. Is anyone familiar with this landing, know exactly where it was, heard anyone talking about it, know what it was used for? Jim Gaddis
