1981 Map of Folkstone

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Great Sandy Run Pocosin dominates the eastern landscape of this coastal plain region, representing a classic Carolina wetland environment defined by its peat-rich soil and dense vegetation. The 1981 mapping shows the area's transportation infrastructure anchored by the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad, which runs near the settlement of Folkstone. The terrain is deeply influenced by a complex network of wetlands, including Shelter Swamp, Holly Swamp, and Juniper Swamp, which dictate the patterns of human development. Notable historical features include an Abandoned Landing Strip located west of the railroad, and the jurisdictional boundary between Onslow and Pender Counties. The map captures the quiet transition between the concentrated settlement of Holly Ridge and the surrounding timberlands and creeks like Kings Creek.
