2011 Map of Masontown

About this map

Masontown and its surrounding residential developments sit within a complex network of coastal lowlands and drainage basins defined by the Northwest Prong Newport River and the Southwest Prong Slocum Creek. The 2011 landscape reflects significant modern suburban growth near Havelock, with neighborhoods like Trent Acres, College Park, and Hilltop Acres established amidst the older terrain. To the west, the topography transitions into a more hydrologically diverse area featuring Little Lake and Lake Ellis Simon, connected by managed waterways such as Canal Rd and Lake Rd. The intricate hydrography of the region is evident in the many named branches and swamps, including Milldam Branch, Millis Swamp, and Reak Swamp, which dictate the placement of local thoroughfares like Nine Foot Rd. Further south, the presence of the Carteret County Landfill marks the edge of local infrastructure near Cedar Swamp Creek.
