About this map

Holly Shelter Swamp dominates this landscape along the boundary of Onslow and Pender counties, revealing an intricate network of wetlands and seasonal drainages. The area is characterized by low-lying hydrologic features including Sandy Run Swamp, Shelter Swamp Cr, and Shaken Cr, which weave through slightly elevated landforms such as Bryants Ridge and Southwest Ridge.

Remote land management and access are defined by a strictly linear grid of service routes like Military Rd, Juniper Rd, and Lodge Rd. These roads segment the marshy terrain, providing access to isolated high points like Pine Island, T Island, and Back Island. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure required to navigate the coastal plains of eastern North Carolina, where the natural flow of Ashes Cr meets the structured demands of military or conservation road systems.
