1984 Map of Catfish Lake

About this map

Croatan National Forest dominates this low-lying coastal landscape along the border of Jones Co and Craven Co. This 1980s-era topographic study highlights a region defined by substantial pocosin wetlands and interior water bodies, including Catfish Lake and Great Lake. The drainage network is characterized by the slow-moving headwaters of Brice Creek, which branches into the East Prong and West Prong Brice Creek. Aside from a few unimproved roads and state routes, the terrain remains largely undeveloped, preserving the character of the Carolina coastal plain. The presence of Long Lake and the expansive Black Swamp suggests a landscape shaped by poor drainage and seasonal inundation, a hallmark of the eastern North Carolina wilderness during this period.
