About this map

Hubert and Swansboro anchor this coastal Onslow County landscape, where tidal creeks and dense marshlands dictate the pattern of human settlement. The geography is defined by a complex network of estuarine waters, including Queen Cr, Parrot Swamp, and Bear Creek, which eventually drain toward the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean. Along these banks, small community centers and family landmarks emerge, such as Willis Landing and the Oak Grove United Methodist Church.

The presence of several family-named burial grounds, including the Burn Family Cem and Campbell Cem, offers significant genealogical value, tracing the long-standing residency of local families near the sounds. Landforms like Holland Point and Finns Island illustrate the shifting barrier environment, while the proximity of Bear Island and Onslow Bay highlights the area's deep connection to the sea and the maritime economy of the North Carolina coast.
