1949 Map of Cherry Point

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The US Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point dominates the western shore of Hancock Creek in this mid-century survey of coastal North Carolina. This military presence, established shortly before the map's original 1949 field check, contrasts with the surrounding Croatan National Forest and the quiet reaches of Cahoogue Creek. Across the wide expanse of the Neuse River, the northern shore shows the development of Minnesott Beach and youth camps like Camp Seagull and Camp Don-Lee. The map preserves the locations of local landmarks such as the Pine Cliff Lookout Tower and rural community centers including Weeping Mary Ch and Cahoogue Creek Sch. Small settlements like Blades and Bachelor are situated near the wetlands of Clubfoot Creek, illustrating the area's historical reliance on the tidal waters of the Pamlico and Craven county line.
