1952 Map of Camp Lejeune

About this map

Camp Lejeune Military Reservation dominates this coastal North Carolina landscape, showing a complex mix of mid-century tactical training grounds and residential infrastructure. The map illustrates the specialized development required to support the base, from the residential clusters at Midway Park and Piney Green to the various institutions like Marshall Chapel Sch and Enon Chapel. Coastal features such as Farnell Bay and Stump Sound are depicted alongside an extensive network of military and civilian transport, including the U S Government R R and the Seaboard Coast Line. This 1971 photorevision documents significant base expansion, with new structures and roads added in purple over the original 1952 topographic survey, providing a clear record of military growth during the Cold War era.
