2010 Map of Maple Hill SW

About this map

Low-lying wetlands and intricate drainages define this portion of Onslow County, where the sprawling Sandy Run Swamp and Shelter Swamp Creek feed into the winding Shaken Creek. The landscape is a mosaic of moisture-rich terrain, characterized by interior rises like Bryants Ridge and Southwest Ridge that provide subtle elevation above the surrounding marshlands. Named landforms such as Pine Island, Back Island, and the specifically designated T Island suggest pockets of slightly higher ground or distinct vegetation within the swampy network of Ashes Creek and Holly Shelter Creek. The human footprint is marked by a sparse but deliberate network of local routes including Old Maple Hill Rd, Godwin Rd, and the isolated Island Rd, illustrating how early infrastructure navigated the difficult coastal plain topography.
