1952 Map of Camp Lejeune

About this map

Camp Lejeune Military Reservation dominates this coastal landscape, showing the installation's extensive development in the early 1950s. The map details the complex layout of the main base and nearby housing areas like Midway Park, punctuated by specialized infrastructure including a documented Road Block. Beyond the military boundaries, small communities such as Piney Green and Kellumtown represent the local civilian life surrounding the base, with several rural schools and churches like Enon Chapel and Union Chapel anchoring these settlements. The geography is defined by the tidal waters of the New River, Stump Sound, and Farnell Bay, which are fed by a network of local waterways including Northeast Creek and Wallace Creek. Extensive shoreline details, such as Hadnot Pt and Rhodes Pt, illustrate the strategic interface between the land and the coastal marshes of the White Oak region.
