1948 Map of Maysville
USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
The White Oak River snakes through the heart of this coastal Carolina landscape, serving as a natural boundary between Jones, Onslow, and Carteret counties. In the post-war era, the town of Maysville stands as a central hub, situated along the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and the edge of the Croatan National Forest. This survey captures a transitional wilderness where extensive wetlands like Black Swamp and several large elliptical bodies of water, including Catfish Lake and Great Lake, dominate the eastern terrain. To the south, the winding river reaches toward Stella and Silverdale, where the forest gives way to more frequent clearings and rural settlements. Strategic monitoring of this timber-rich region is evident by the presence of the Black Swamp Fire Tower and the Pelletier Fire Tower, standing watch over the dense pine and cypress stands.
