2022 Map of Cape Fear

USGS Topo · Published 2022

About this map

Bald Head Island and the complex of marsh and maritime forest at the southernmost tip of North Carolina define this coastal survey. The map details a shifting landscape of barrier islands including Smith Island, Middle Island, and Bluff Island, separated by tidal waters like Bald Head Creek and Cape Creek. This modern look at the land's end reveals a network of local roads such as Federal Rd and Dogwood Ridge Rd that provide access through the island interior, while the shoreline is marked by East Beach and the prominent point of Cape Fear. Beyond the coast, the topography transitions into the dangerous underwater geography of the Atlantic Ocean, including the sprawling Frying Pan Shoals, Cape Fear Slue, and Four Mile Slue, illustrating the navigational challenges that have long shaped the maritime history of Brunswick County.
