2013 Map of Cape Fear OE W

About this map

Bald Head Lighthouse stands as the primary landmark on this coastal sheet, situated on the extreme northeastern edge of the quadrangle. The map is dominated by the expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, illustrating the isolated maritime character of Bald Head. The small network of residential roads, including W Bald Head Wynd and S Bald Head Wynd, indicates the modern development pattern of the island. Maritime navigation is reflected by the Bald Head Channel Range, marking the critical approach to the Cape Fear River mouth. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the shifting sands and coastal infrastructure at the southern tip of North Carolina before subsequent decades of tidal influence.
