2019 Map of Pollocksville

About this map

Pollocksville and the surrounding coastal plains of Jones and Craven Counties are defined by the winding course of the Trent River. This landscape reflects a mix of suburban growth near New Bern, established rural settlements, and large protected areas. To the southeast, the Croatan National Forest occupies a significant portion of the terrain, characterized by numerous blackwater tributaries such as Skinner Br and Island Creek. Military activity is a prominent feature of the local geography, represented by MCAS Cherry Point Oak Grove and the Canaan Air Base. Smaller communities like Tenmile Fork, Rhems, and Oak Grove are linked by a network of rural roads that cross over wetlands including the Great Dover Swamp. Residential developments like River Bend and Trent Woods show the modern expansion along the river's edge, while older crossings are marked by Trent Bridge.
