2022 Map of Calabash
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
Calabash and the neighboring coastal communities of Carolina Shores and Sunset Beach define this reach of the Atlantic coast near the North Carolina South Carolina border. The landscape is a transition from the dense drainage networks of Cawcaw Swamp and Shingletree Swamp to the maritime environments of the Intracoastal Waterway. Smaller, established settlements like Grissettown and Hickmans Crossroads are situated further inland, connected by rural roads that trace the higher ground between wetlands. Local history is preserved in several family burial grounds, including Bennett Cem, Manley Bennett Cem, and Wilson Cem. The intricate shoreline at The Big Narrows and Milliken Cove illustrates the complex hydrology of the coastal plains, where tidal creeks like Calabash Creek wind through low-lying marshes before meeting the sound.
