The Cape Fear River carves a winding path through this corner of Bladen County, where the low-lying Carolina bay topography and riverine wetlands define the settlement patterns. Small communities like Kelly, East Arcadia, and Sandyfield occupy the higher ground between expansive swamp systems. The landscape is a complex network of natural and engineered drainage, featuring the Lyon Swamp Canal, White Oak Canal, and Salt Marsh Ditch, reflecting generations of effort to manage the water for timber or agriculture.
