About this map

The Cape Fear River serves as the central artery for this region of eastern North Carolina, where river landings once anchored local commerce and transit. Tolar Landing and Prospect Hall Landing sit along its banks, marking points of historical significance for river navigation. To the west, the landscape is defined by extensive lowlands and drainage systems, including Goodman Swamp, Gallberry Swamp, and the Big Swamp Canal.

Small settlements such as Duart, Newlight, and Elease are connected by a network of rural roads that skirt around geographic features like Burrell Bay and Marsh Wood Lake. The presence of the Cedar Creek Fish Farm and recreation-oriented spots like Camp Dixie Lake reflect a landscape shaped by both the natural riparian environment and local land use. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of family-associated landmarks like Brown's Farm.
