About this map

The White Oak River and its intricate drainage network define this coastal North Carolina landscape on the border of Jones and Onslow Counties. The terrain is dominated by the White Oak Pocosin, a vast wetland system that influences the local settlement patterns. Small communities like Emmett and Bell Strip are connected by a network of rural roads such as White Oak River Rd and Lees Chapel Rd, which navigate around the numerous tributaries including Mill Run, Little Hell Cr, and Beaverdam Br. The map reveals a rural economy shaped by the natural hydrology, with Gibson Bridge serving as a key crossing point for Gibson Bridge Rd. This survey documents the persistent wilderness of the pocosin alongside the established agricultural and residential pockets at Parker Field and Olivers Crossroads.
