1997 Map of Holly Ridge
USGS Topo · Published 1999About this map
The coastal environment of the Onslow and Pender county line is defined by a dense network of water-access points and maritime infrastructure. Settlements like Holly Ridge and Surf City serve as anchors for a landscape where the Intracoastal Waterway separates the mainland from the barrier islands. Numerous small landings, including Edens Landing, Watts Landing, and Sears Landing, illustrate the importance of water transport and private docks along Topsail Sound. Inland, the Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts a diagonal path toward the coast, passing through the massive Holly Shelter State Wildlife Management Area. Local history is grounded in small community landmarks such as Stump Sound Ch and Manhollow Ch, while coastal navigation is supported by features like Bumble Light and the Lookout Tower near Barlow Vista.
