The coastal wetlands of Onslow and Pender counties define this landscape, dominated by expansive evergreen shrub bogs known as Great Sandy Run Pocosin and Purgatory Pocosin. These dense, acidic ecosystems are threaded by a network of waterways including Shelter Swamp Creek, Juniper Swamp, and Big Shaken Swamp, which reveal the historical challenge of drainage and development in the North Carolina coastal plain.
