About this map

The Trent River meanders through the heart of this landscape, serving as a defining boundary between Craven and Jones counties. Along its banks, the established communities of Pollocksville, River Bend, and Trent Woods show the modern residential footprint of the region south of New Bern. The southeastern portion of the map is dominated by the dense, protected woodlands of the Croatan National Forest, which stands in contrast to the agricultural and residential development found near Tenmile Fork and Rhems.

Military and aviation interests are prominent, with the Oak Grove Marine Corps Outlying Field and Canaan Air Base marking the terrain. The map captures a detailed hydrographic network including Deep Gully, Island Creek, and Mill Creek, which drain the low-lying reaches of the Great Dover Swamp. This survey provides a clear look at the intersection of public forest lands and riverfront growth during the mid-2010s.
