2013 Map of Havelock

About this map

Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station dominates the eastern landscape of this coastal North Carolina region, where the Neuse River meets a complex network of creeks and guts. The settlement pattern reflects the military and aviation influence of the era, with residential clusters such as Hancock Village, Slocun Village, and Havelock Station gathered around the air station and Highway 70 corridor. Further inland, the terrain is defined by the dense woodlands of the Croatan National Forest, marked by the Croatan Lookout Tower and smaller private airstrips like Hickory Hill Airport and Dogwood Farm Airport. Waterways like Slocum Cr and Brice Cr carve through the low-lying coastal plain, while established communities like Carolina Pines and Riverdale flank the riverfront and rail lines. This map illustrates the intersection of mid-century military infrastructure and the older tidal landscapes of the inner banks.
