1951 Map of Masontown

About this map

Croatan National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape in eastern North Carolina, where the wetlands of the Lakes Pocosin meet the upper reaches of the Newport River. The map captures a unique coastal environment defined by a series of drainage canals, including the North Canal, Middle Canal, and South Canal, which intersect the woods near Ellis Lake. Small pockets of settlement are clustered along the eastern edge, notably at Holly Springs and Masontown, while the Atlantic and East Carolina railroad line cuts through the northern section near a private airstrip. Local transportation is marked by distinctive historic routes like the Nine Foot Road, and family-named landmarks such as Smiths Swamp and Mairey Branch indicate the deep-rooted local geography. A small, unnamed cemetery is situated near Milldam Branch, offering a specific point of interest for genealogical researchers.
