1975 Map of Jacksonville NW

About this map

Hofmann Forest dominates this coastal plain landscape, reflecting a mid-1970s environment defined by managed timberlands and significant wetlands. The map details the White Oak Pocosin and Juniper Swamp, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the region through features like Cypress Creek, Bear Prong, and the headwaters of the North Prong White Oak River. Grounded in data from the North Carolina Forestry Foundation, the sheet delineates property and county lines, including the boundary between Jones and Onslow Counties. Human presence is concentrated near the margins, where the St Louis Ch and a small Cem mark localized settlements amidst the dense forest and swamps. The prevalence of private roads and indefinite boundaries suggests a landscape primarily dedicated to large-scale forestry and natural conservation rather than residential expansion.
