About this map

The Cape Fear Lowlands define the northern reaches of this landscape, where the Cape Fear River winds past the industrial and residential pockets of Riegelwood and Gooseneck. This coastal plain environment is characterized by an extensive network of wetlands and drainage systems, including the Gapway Swamp, Little Green Swamp, and Buckhorn Swamp. Settlements such as Acme, Delco, and Northwest are linked by a corridor of infrastructure that cuts through the lowland terrain.

Genealogists and local historians will find numerous family and community landmarks, particularly the dispersed burial grounds like Skull Cem, Sykes Cem, and Rogers Cem. The map captures the intersection of three counties—Pender, Columbus, and Brunswick—where agriculture and timber lands meet protected areas like the Buckhorn Savanna. Natural water features like Livingston Creek and Grist Mill Br suggest the historical reliance on these local waterways for both drainage and early industry.
