About this map

The White Oak River serves as the central artery for this mid-1980s coastal landscape, meandering through a complex of tidal creeks and dense woodlands. The eastern bank is dominated by the sprawling Croatan National Forest, where labels like Holston Creek and Hunters Creek define the wilderness boundary. To the west, the rural character of Onslow County is marked by small settlements and family-oriented landmarks. Community life is anchored by local institutions such as Tabernacle Sch and several houses of worship, including St Stephens Ch and Davis Chapel.

Transitioning toward the coast, the map documents the northern reaches of Camp Lejeune, indicating the military presence that shares the terrain with traditional river life at Stella and Elm Landing. Evidence of the region's transport and industry remains visible through the Seaboard rail line in the northwest and a Sandpit near Silverdale. This survey provides a precise look at the intersection of protected national forest, military installations, and longstanding riverside communities.
