2010 Map of Catherine Lake

About this map

Lake Catherine and the small settlement of Catherine Lake anchor this 2010 topographic study of Onslow County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Southwest Creek. The area north of the lake is marked by the presence of Albert J Ellis Airport, with its runways and access roads like Albert Ellis Airport Rd cutting through the rural terrain. The mapping shows a network of local roads named for prominent families and landmarks, such as Ben Williams Rd, Jim Blake Rd, and Foy Lockamy Rd, which suggest the deep-rooted agricultural and local history of this coastal plain region. To the east, the drainage patterns of the New River and Blue Creek shape the low-lying geography, while numerous smaller routes like Union Chapel Church Rd and Rhodestown Rd connect the scattered homesteads and woodland tracts.
