About this map

Great Sandy Run Pocosin dominates the southern landscape of this Onslow County region, illustrating the unique wetland ecology of the North Carolina coastal plain. The map traces a network of small settlements and crossroads, including Haws Run, Cyrus, and Padgett, connected by rural routes such as Haws Run Rd and Hewitts Hwy. The drainage patterns are defined by the winding reaches of Sandy Run Swamp and Little Sandy Run Swamp, which feed into the larger pocosin ecosystem.

Economic and social markers are visible in features like Sky Manor Airport and Waltons Store, reflecting the quiet transition of land use between agriculture and aviation. Local waterways like Southwest Cr and Harris Cr further delineate the terrain, providing a look at the historical hydrology of the area before modern development altered the local water table. This survey captures a moment in the 21st century where traditional naming conventions like Bear Aly and Shell Rd persist alongside newer residential infrastructure.
