2019 Map of Lockwoods Folly

About this map

The Lockwoods Folly River dominates this coastal landscape as it flows past Varnum and Varnamtown before reaching the Lockwoods Folly Inlet. The map highlights the significant marine engineering and recreational development of the late 2010s, showing the precise path of the Intracoastal Waterway as it cuts through the marshlands north of Oak Island. Dense residential street grids at Holden Beach and Long Beach contrast with the inland agricultural and wooded areas around Lennon Crossroads. Of particular note to local historians are the established coastal features such as Mercers Mill Pond and Montgomery Slough, alongside named points like Genoes Point and Myrtle Point that define the irregular shoreline of the river estuary.
