2016 Map of Catherine Lake

About this map

Lake Catherine and the settlement of Catherine Lake anchor this Onslow County landscape, where the coastal plain begins to transition toward the interior. The area is defined by the drainage systems of Southwest Cr and the upper reaches of the New River, with Deep Run cutting through the southwestern portion of the sheet. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Albert J Ellis Airport, while local history is etched into the road network with names like Bannermans Mill Rd and Indian Cave Dr, suggesting former industrial and geographic landmarks. The map shows a region of low-lying wetlands and bays, such as Morgan Bay, interspersed with a growing network of residential lanes and agricultural land typical of eastern North Carolina in the early 21st century.
