1981 Map of Burgaw

About this map

Burgaw serves as the central hub of this Pender County landscape, where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad creates a distinct corridor through the Coastal Plain. The town's grid is surrounded by smaller communities and family-named locales like Murray Town, Six Forks, and Van Eden. The geography is defined by its water systems, from the meandering Northeast Cape Fear River on the eastern edge to the Osgood Canal and Long Creek that drain the low-lying terrain.
