2016 Map of Cape Fear OE W

About this map

Bald Head Island occupies the upper corner of this 2016 survey, representing the southernmost point of North Carolina. This coastal map is primarily a marine study of the Atlantic Ocean and the critical maritime approach to the Cape Fear River. Local geography is defined by the road network serving the developed portion of the island, including W Bald Head Wynd and S Bald Head Wynd. The charting of the Bald Head Channel Range illustrates the ongoing importance of navigational aids in these shifting coastal waters. The boundary of Brunswick Co extends well into the sea, marking the state's jurisdictional reach into the ocean.
