About this map

The coastal plains of Onslow County are defined here by a mix of military proximity and the expansive Hofmann Forest. Settlement centers like Jacksonville and Pumpkin Center sit at the southern edge, giving way to a landscape dominated by the White Oak Pocosin and drainage networks including Northeast Creek and Starkys Creek. The mapping reveals a rural infrastructure built around aviation and forestry, featuring the White Oak Airport, the Lookout Tower, and the Deppe Landing Strip near the northern boundary.

Local life is anchored by institutions such as White Oak High School and Fountain of Life Ch. For the genealogist or local historian, the map preserves the locations of numerous small family cemeteries and crossroads like Kellum and Humphrey. Industrial activity is noted through scattered Sandpits and a Gravel Pit near Deppe, reflecting the region's extraction and timber-based economy in the late twentieth century.
