1952 Map of New River Inlet

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

The Swansboro Camp Lejeune Military Reservation dominates this coastal landscape, illustrating the mid-century integration of military infrastructure within the North Carolina wetlands. The settlement of Marines is situated near Courthouse Bay, while the small community of Peru sits tucked along the marshes of Stump Sound. This survey captures a highly dynamic amphibious environment where the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through a maze of sounds and bays, including Traps Bay and Mile Hammock Bay. Significant shoreline features like Hurst Beach and Onslow Beach face the open waters of Onslow Bay, connected to the mainland via Onslow Beach Road. The map documents numerous family-named landings and points, such as Corn Landing and Wilkins Bluff, which reflect the area's long history of small-scale maritime access before and during the establishment of the military reservation.
