2011 Map of Leland

About this map

The Cope Fear River and its intricate network of tributaries, including Indian Creek and Mulberry Branch, define the low-lying landscape of this coastal North Carolina region. This 2011 survey illustrates the development of Leland and its surrounding communities such as Phoenix, Eastbrook, and the industrial rail hub at Navassa. The area is marked by a deep connection to its waterways, as evidenced by numerous landings like Peachtree Landing and Hale Point Landing, as well as the significant infrastructure of Davis Yard and Richards Crossing. Genealogists will find notable value in the mapping of local family and community burial grounds, including Williams Cemetery, Mulberry Cemetery, and Cedar Hill Cemetery. North of the town centers, the map shows Lake Sutton and the wilder terrain of Roan Island and Bill Neal Island, where the river splits into various cuts and branches.
