Hi Carla, The USGS GNIS web site shows a Tarawana Terrace Elementary School, Tarawa Terrace I (subdivision), Tarawa Terrace II (subdivision) and Lejeune High School. They're all in Onslow County, NC. Tarawa Terrace I and Lejeune High School are on the Camp Lejeune USGS Map.

YES, thats absolutely correct. Except "Tarawa Terrace" is the correct spelling rather than "Tarawana Terrace ". It was named after the Marine's invasion of Tawara in 1943. You can read more about it at http://www.geocities.com/stu_hill/Tarawa.htm.
