2022 Map of Kellum

About this map

Jacksonville and the outlying settlements of Pumpkin Center and Kellum anchor the southern reaches of this landscape, where residential development begins to meet the dense wetlands of Onslow County. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Wolf Swamp, Northeast Cr, and Little Northeast Cr, which drain toward the tidal waters of Morgan Bay. To the north, the environment shifts toward the expansive White Oak Pocosin, a distinct bogland ecosystem characterized by its scrubby vegetation and limited road access. Civil aviation is represented by Epley Airport near the community of Deppe, while the road network shows the progression of suburban growth through named residential streets like Chaparral Trl and Sparkling Brook Way. This 2022 survey captures the modern interface between the growing coastal plain communities and the persistent low-lying swamps of eastern North Carolina.
