About this map

Jacksonville and the expansive military installation at New River Marine Corps Air Station / McCutcheon Field dominate this coastal landscape at the confluence of several significant waterways. The map illustrates the town's growth into the surrounding peninsulas and bluffs, including Wilsons Bluff and Frenchmans Point. The urban grid of the city, defined by numbered streets from 3rd St to 11th St, contrasts with the vast wetlands and meandering courses of Southwest Creek and Lewis Creek to the south.

Genealogists and local historians will find interest in the documented sites of Jacksonville Cem and the Coastal Carolina State Veterans Cem near the northern edge of the survey. The southern portion of the map transitions to a more rural character around the settlement of Verona, where the terrain is marked by family-named landmarks like Hadnot Point and Holmes Point along the banks of Morgan Bay, leading toward the Atlantic Ocean.
