1990 Map of Exum

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Green Swamp dominates this landscape, revealing a mosaic of wetlands and slightly elevated ridges that defined local settlement patterns in Brunswick County toward the end of the twentieth century. The small community of Exum sits along the northern edge, near the junction of Alligator Swamp and Swamp Bay. This area is characterized by numerous shallow depressions known as bays, including Alligator Bay, Wide Bay, and Good Luck Bay, which are interspersed with distinctive terrain features like Horse Pen Ridge and Big Neck. Local history is anchored by several rural landmarks, including St Matthew Ch, Trinity Ch, and the Griffin Cem near Mill Branch. The mapping of areas like Ludlum Pasture suggests a history of agricultural use carved out from the surrounding wetlands. This 1990 edition, which supersedes a 1943 Army Map Service survey, illustrates the persistence of these rural outposts and the complex hydrological network of Little Muddy Creek and Mill Swamp.
