About this map

Catherine Lake and the residential cluster of Greystone anchor this Onslow County landscape, which is defined by a dense network of coastal plain waterways. The hydrology of the area is particularly prominent, featuring the wide expanse of Lake Catherine and the winding paths of Southwest Cr, Blue Cr, and Ninemile Cr. These streams flow through a region where agriculture and small-scale development intersect, evidenced by long-standing rural routes like Union Chapel Church Rd and Rhodestown Rd.

In the northwestern corner, the Albert J Ellis Airport marks a significant infrastructure landmark, contrasting with the quiet residential developments such as the Fox Creek MHP. The presence of the New River in the northeast suggests the broader tidal geography of eastern North Carolina. For researchers, the map provides a clear picture of early 21st-century land use, showing how family-named roads and small community centers evolved around the region's historical water sources.
