1951 Map of Masontown

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Croatan National Forest dominates this coastal landscape, where the intricate hydrology of the White Oak Pocosin and Lakes Pocosin defines the local environment. Centered on the boundary of Craven and Carteret counties, the map captures a period of military and civilian infrastructure development, notably the US Government RR and the Atlantic and East Carolina RR. In the north, the growing community of Havelock is documented alongside Havelock Ch, while further south, smaller settlements like Masontown and Holly Springs sit near the headwaters of the Newport River. The presence of Nine Foot Road and Millis Road provides a look at the early thoroughfares connecting these rural outposts. Extensive canal systems, including the North Canal and South Canal, illustrate the long history of drainage efforts required to manage the wetlands near Little Lake.
