1997 Map of Carolina Beach
USGS Topo · Published 1999About this map
Orton Plantation and the historic Brunswick Town ruins anchor the western bank of the Cape Fear River, where the landscape transitions from coastal wetlands to significant cultural sites. Across the water, the barrier island development is dense at Carolina Beach and Kure Beach, bisected by the engineering of Snows Cut and the protected waters of Myrtle Sound. The presence of the Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point and its dedicated Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point Railroad illustrates the strategic shipping and logistics infrastructure required for this deep-water corridor.
