1952 Map of New River Inlet

About this map

Camp Lejeune Military Reservation dominates this coastal landscape, showing the mid-century infrastructure of the Marine Corps installation along the New River and the Atlantic coast. The map details the transition from small settlements like Peru and Marines to a high-density military area, complete with a Landing Strip, a Fire Tower, and tactical landmarks like Courthouse Bay. The intricate coastal geography is the defining feature here, where the Intracoastal Waterway threads behind barrier islands and through complex sound systems.
