1994 Map of Stella

About this map

The White Oak River snakes through the center of this coastal landscape, serving as a historic boundary between Onslow, Jones, and Carteret counties. Within the sprawling wetlands and pines of the Croatan National Forest, the map reveals a network of rural communities and isolated crossroads that speak to the region's mid-century character. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the western banks, where landmarks like Morton Fork and Pala Alto anchor the local geography.
