About this map

Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point dominates the landscape where Tucker Creek meets the wide Neuse River, defining the character of this coastal North Carolina region. The installation's massive scale at Cunningham Field is balanced by the surrounding wildlands of the Croatan National Forest, which covers significant acreage to the west and south. This coexistence of military infrastructure and protected forest shapes the growth of Havelock, where the residential street grid clusters near Havelock Station and Us HWY 70 E.

Local family history is preserved in several rural burying grounds, including the Rowe Family Cem and Croatan Community Cem. The map traces the intricate hydrography of the inner coastal plain, from the tidal reaches of Slocum Creek to the swampy interior of Gum Swamp and Little Lake. Small settlements like Riverdale, Croatan, and Pine Grove provide context for the region's scattered residential patterns outside the main municipal centers.
