About this map

The Croatan National Forest dominates this coastal North Carolina landscape, where the shifting boundaries of Jones, Craven, and Carteret counties converge. This 1984 survey reveals a transition from the dense woodlands of the Pocosin Lakes to the expansive waters of Great Lake and Ellis Lake. The southern reaches are defined by the winding course of the White Oak River and its many tributaries, including the namesake Hadnot Creek, Cules Creek, and Caleb Branch.

Evidence of regional infrastructure and land use is visible in the presence of Camp Lejeune territory and several unnamed cemeteries that reflect the area's rural history. The intricate network of drainage, from Wolf Swamp to Hunters Creek, highlights the importance of water management in this low-lying terrain. This map serves as a detailed record of the forest's interior and its relationship with the surrounding coastal plain before further modern development.
