About this map

The Croatan National Forest dominates this coastal North Carolina landscape, where the intersection of Jones, Craven, and Carteret counties meets. Massive water bodies like Great Lake and Lake Ellis Simon characterize the northern portion of the quadrangle, giving way to the dense, saturated terrain of the Lakes Pocosin. This area is defined by its complex hydrography, where the White Oak River and its tributaries, such as Hadnot Creek and Hunters Creek, weave through a network of forest service routes.

Logistics and land use in this part of Onslow County are centered around timber and conservation, evidenced by the numerous specialized forest routes like Forest Rte 144 and Forest Rte 3014. For local historians and genealogists, markers such as Old Church Rd, Hadnot Farm Rd, and White Oak Bluff Rd indicate the historical footprint of early settlements and agricultural properties along the river's edge before the expansion of the national forest boundaries.
