1980 Map of Lockwoods Folly

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Varnum Town and the coastal crossroads of Brunswick County are captured in this color infrared aerial study, which highlights the delicate boundary between the dark waters of the Lockwoods Folly River and the cultivated lands of the interior. The imagery reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the coastal plain, from the winding course of Mill Creek to the broad reach of Ash Swamp. Along the southern edge, the barrier landforms separating Montgomery Slough from the Atlantic Ocean show early residential development patterns emerging near Long Bay. This orthophoto provides a unique perspective on the rural character of communities like Lennon Crossroads, Sandy Hill, and Midway, showing how forest, farm, and wetland dictated the placement of homes and roads before the era of intensive coastal expansion.
