About this map

The Camp Lejeune Military Reservation dominates this coastal landscape, showing the intensive development of the base and its surrounding communities during the mid-20th century. Residential growth is evident in Midway Park and Piney Green, where neighborhoods and numerous trailer parks supported the influx of military personnel and their families. Transport networks are a central theme, with the Seaboard Coast Line passing through Jacksonville and the U S Government R R serving the interior of the base.

Social and educational life in the townships of White Oak and Swansboro is anchored by landmarks like Marshall Chapel Sch, Enon Chapel, and the Drive-in Theater. The intricate shoreline along the New River and Farnell Bay is detailed with features such as Hadnot Pt and Rhodes Pt, while further east, Starretts Meadows and Horse Swamp reflect the low-lying, watery terrain characteristic of the North Carolina coast.
