About this map

The White Oak River defines this coastal landscape as it meanders through the marshy lowlands of Onslow County. The settlement of Stella sits prominently along its banks, connected by the Stella Bridge, a vital crossing point in the river's winding course. This era shows a network of established crossroads and rural communities, including Silverdale, Pala Alto, and Morton Fork.

Creeks and branches, such as Queen Creek and Hunters Creek, carve through the terrain, suggesting a history of water-dependent transport and agriculture. The map documents the residential development at Hubert Acres and the smaller outpost at Kuhns, reflecting the gradual growth of the region. Local roads like the Belgrade Swansboro Rd and Parkertown Rd link these coastal settlements, providing a clear view of the area's infrastructure before further 21st-century modernization.
