About this map

Hofmann Forest dominates this coastal plain landscape, characterized by the expansive wetlands of the White Oak Pocosin. Surveyed in the late 1970s, the map illustrates a sparsely populated region where the Jones Co Onslow Co line meanders through the dense hydrology of the White Oak River. Local history is centered around features like White Oak Ch and the small Bell Airport in the northeast corner.

Transport and land use patterns are defined by timber management and old industrial infrastructure, most notably the Old RR Grade cutting through the forest and several named branches like Mundine Branch and Gibson Branch that feed into the central river system. The presence of several isolated Cem sites and a Grave near Mill Run provides specific points of interest for genealogists tracking family plots within these timberlands.
