USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Fort Fisher State Historic Site anchors the narrow peninsula where the Cape Fear River meets the Atlantic Ocean. This 1970 orthophotomap, updated in 1979, illustrates the complex hydrography of the Lower Cape Fear, including the significant engineering of The Rocks and the passage through Snows Cut. The presence of the Military Ocean Terminal and Fort Fisher Air Force Sta reflects the strategic Cold War importance of this coastline.
