2019 Map of Acme

About this map

The Cape Fear River forms the northern boundary of this coastal plain landscape, where the Pender and Brunswick county lines meet amidst a complex network of wetlands and small tributaries. Industrial and residential clusters like Riegelwood and Acme are defined by their proximity to the river and the corridor of the State Rd 1878. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling Green Swamp and the Little Green Swamp, characterized by unique features such as Buckhorn Savannah and numerous "bays" including Rattlesnake Bay and Dark Bay. Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites across the territory, including Sykes Cem, Scull Cem, and Rogers Cem, often located near small rural settlements like Delco, Evergreen, and Maco. This survey captures the transition from river-oriented commerce to the inland agriculture and timber lands that define the region.
