About this map

White Oak Pocosin dominates this landscape along the border of Onslow and Jones Counties, revealing a vast wetland environment characterized by its unique hydrology and dense vegetation. This area of coastal North Carolina is defined by slow-moving water systems like Cypress Cr and Little Cypress Cr to the northwest, while the N Prong White Oak River drains the eastern reach near Barnes Br. The topography is exceptionally flat, typical of the pocosin wetlands where poorly drained soils create a mosaic of swamps and branches.

Linear transit through this saturated terrain is provided by arterial routes such as Quaker Bridge Rd and Hoffman Forest Rd, which cross through various low-lying features including Juniper Swamp, Bear Prong, and Chinquapin Swamp. This 2019 survey documents a landscape focused on conservation and forestry, where the intricate network of headwater streams like Margaret Br feeds into the larger river basins of the coastal plain.
