About this map

The White Oak Pocosin dominates this Jones and Onslow County borderland, showcasing the characteristic wetland shrub-bog terrain of coastal North Carolina. Large tracts of the Hofmann Forest cover much of the western and southern reaches, where straight-cut access roads and private boundaries intersect the natural hydrology of the basin. The White Oak River meanders through the central landscape, fed by numerous tributaries including North Prong, South Prong, and Mundine Branch. Human settlement is concentrated along the river corridor and the northern survey limits, where the White Oak Ch and scattered Cem markers indicate established rural communities. Near the eastern edge, Gibson Bridge crosses the river, while the presence of the Bell Airport in the northeast corner and a Radio Tower suggests the integration of modern infrastructure into this heavily forested region.
