About this map

Boiling Spring Lakes forms the central residential and geographic heart of this map, characterized by a planned street grid and a network of water bodies including Boiling Spring Lake, Clear Pond, and North Lake. The landscape is defined by the transition from low-lying wetlands such as Harris Swamp and Middle Swamp to the tidal and industrial zones bordering the Cape Fear River. To the southeast, the massive footprint of the Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point dominates the coastal corridor, adjacent to the sprawling waters of Orton Pond.

Evidence of the region's agricultural and maritime past is seen in small settlements like Mill Creek and Funston, while the Old Railroad Grade suggests former transport corridors through the swampy interior. Local community life is anchored by South Brunswick High Sch and several country churches, including Lebanon Ch and New Hope Ch, providing clear points of reference for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of Brunswick County.
