1997 Map of Kure Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1999

About this map

The Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean define the narrow, strategic geography of this coastal area as it appeared in the late 1990s. The landscape is dominated by heavy federal and state presence, notably the sprawling Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point on the western bank and the Fort Fisher Air Force Sta near Kure Beach. The terminal, with its extensive rail infrastructure and piers, contrasts with the barrier island preserves of the Fort Fisher State Recreation Area.
