Pleasure Island and the coastal communities of Carolina Beach and Wilmington Beach dominate the eastern landscape of this coastal survey. The map records a complex shoreline where the Atlantic Ocean meets Myrtle Sound and the Cape Fear River. Inland from the beaches, the engineered passage of Snows Cut separates the island from the mainland, while the western banks of the river feature prominent estates and landmarks such as Orton Pond and Anderson Landing.
