1951 Map of Cherry Point

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The US Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point dominates the southern bank of the Neuse River in this mid-century topographic survey, showing the military installation alongside the vast reaches of the Croatan National Forest. On the northern shore, the community of Minnesott Beach and the seasonal youth camps of Camp Seagull and Camp Don-Lee define the recreational character of the riverfront. The map reveals a landscape deeply carved by numerous tidal inlets and creeks, such as Hancock Creek and Clubfoot Creek, which served as vital waterways for timber and transport long before the airfield's establishment. Local history is preserved through scattered rural landmarks like the Gatlin Creek Sch, Piney Grove Ch, and the Weeping Mary Ch, reflecting the dispersed settlement patterns of eastern North Carolina during the post-war period.
