About this map

The White Oak River defines the western edge of this mid-1990s survey, where the town of Maysville sits at the junction of rail and road. The landscape is dominated by the dense timberlands of the Croatan National Forest, extending eastward into the Catfish Lake South Wilderness. This era of the forest's management is visible through the network of access routes like Wilderness Road and Mattocks Road, alongside specialized conservation areas such as the Catfish Lake Waterfowl Impoundment.

Genealogists can identify several community landmarks, including Lees Methodist Chapel and Temple Zions Chapel near Pollocksville. The map also preserves the path of an Old Railroad Grade north of Chadwick, providing a clear look at the historical transit infrastructure that once supported the local lumber and agricultural economy before these tracts were primarily dedicated to federal forest and wilderness preservation.
