The coastal transition of Onslow County is defined by the intersection of the White Oak River and the Intracoastal Waterway near the historic maritime hub of Swansboro. This late-century survey documents the landscape surrounding the eastern boundary of the Camp Lejeune Military Reservation, where the dense drainage networks of Queen Creek and Bear Creek meet the Atlantic. The map provides a detailed view of the barrier island topography at Bear Island, part of Hammocks Beach State Park, noting shifting sand dunes with elevations reaching up to 67 feet. Inland, the settlement patterns of Hubert and Piney Grove are visible alongside local landmarks like Oak Grove Ch, while the shoreline is dotted with traditional access points such as Shell Rock Landing and Great Neck Landing.
