About this map

Coastal North Carolina's complex shoreline defines this topographic study, where the White Oak River meets the sound. The landscape is dominated by the Camp Lejeune Military Reservation to the west and the barrier islands of Hammocks Beach State Park to the south. Between these protected areas lie the established settlements of Hubert and Swansboro, connected by a network of tidal creeks and marshes.

Evidence of local history is preserved in the numerous family-named landings and small community anchors, such as Oak Grove Ch and Piney Grove Ch. The presence of several distinct landings, including Great Neck Landing, Willis Landing, and Shell Rock Landing, highlights the era's reliance on small-craft access to Queen Creek and the Intracoastal Waterway before modern development altered the coastline.
