The coastal plain of Onslow County is dominated by the extensive wetland systems of the Great Sandy Run Pocosin and Purgatory Pocosin. This landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, where sluggish watercourses like Shelter Swamp Cr, Big Shaky Swamp, and Shaken Cr thread through dense vegetation. The human footprint is most visible along the southeastern corridor, where the settlements of Folkstone and Holly Ridge are established near the infrastructure of the Camp Davis Marine Corps Outlying Field.
