About this map

Holden Beach and the surrounding coastal reaches of Brunswick County are defined by a complex network of waterways, including the Shallotte River and the Lockwoods Folly River. This landscape is characterized by its transition from inland settlements like Red Bug and Oak Grove to the marshy points and islands along the Intracoastal Waterway. Notable landmarks such as Boone Landing and Holden Ferry highlight the region's historical reliance on waterborne transport and local crossings.

Smaller inland communities such as Sivey Town, Fulford, and Secession are connected by a grid of rural roads, including Old New Britton Rd NW. Local history is preserved at the Lehew Cemetery and Georgetown Cemetery, which serve as quiet anchors for genealogists and researchers. The map captures the area's development toward the shore, where Holden Beach Marina and Hewett Marina support a maritime economy focused on the Atlantic Ocean.
