About this map

Topsail Beach occupies a thin sliver of the coastline in the northwestern corner of this map, representing the primary point of human settlement on the barrier island. The majority of the sheet is dominated by the Atlantic Ocean, illustrating the vast maritime expanse that defines the character of Pender County’s shoreline. The street grid of the town is partially captured, including Bridgers Ave, showing the orientation of residential and commercial development relative to the beach. This modern survey highlights the precarious relationship between coastal infrastructure and the sea, focusing on the narrow margin where land meets water before the shelf drops away into the deep.
