About this map

Lewis Swamp and the surrounding wetlands of Brunswick County define the topography of this coastal plain region. Small, localized settlements such as Rabontown and Batarora are connected by a network of rural roads like Town Creek Rd and Green Hill Rd NE. The landscape is characterized by a series of prominent swamps and creeks, including Gapway Swamp and Town Cr, which navigate around elevated landforms such as Gapway Ridge and Big Bay Ridge.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific family-named landmarks and small communities like Flowers Corner, Old Cumbee Place, and Piney Grove. The map also reveals the rural layout of the area with naming conventions reflecting the local environment, such as Brier Patch and Sand Hill, providing a detailed view of these interior North Carolina lowlands before more modern development patterns took hold.
