2019 Map of Castle Hayne

About this map

The Northeast Cape Fear River dominates this landscape north of Wilmington, where the river winds through extensive wetlands like Dollsons Swamp before its confluence near Eagle Island. This era is defined by the significant infrastructure surrounding the city, including the expansive Wilmington International Airport and the heavy industrial presence at Lake Sutton near the Sutton Steam Plant Road. Residential development is concentrated in established communities like Wrightsboro and Castle Hayne, while smaller enclaves such as Skippers Corner and Hightsville sit along the primary corridors leading into the city. The map also documents local history through sites like the Shoulder Branch Cem, situated near the edge of the wetlands, and the transition of rural tracts such as Blue Clay Farms into the suburban fabric of New Hanover County.
