2013 Map of Leland

About this map

The Cape Fear River and Black River converge in this coastal North Carolina landscape, defining a complex network of waterways including the Black River Cut, Bulldog Cut, and the Lyon Thorofare. The area is characterized by low-lying islands and landings, such as Bill Neal Island and Peachtree Landing, which speak to the historic reliance on river transport before modern highway development. Further south, the growth of Leland and the industrial activity near Navassa are evident, with the extensive rail infrastructure of Davis Yard serving as a primary transportation hub. Residential pockets like Phoenix, Eastbrook, and Hooper Hill are scattered among numerous creeks and branches, such as Indian Cr and Rattlesnake Br. The presence of Lake Sutton and the surrounding marshlands near Cedar Hill highlight the transition from the riverine environment to the developed corridors along US Highway 421 and US Highway 74 76.
