The Northeast Cape Fear River dominates this Pender County landscape, its meandering channel defining the wetlands and lowlands of the region. Near the small settlement of Mooretown, the river is fed by a network of drainage systems including Harrisons Cr, Merricks Cr, and Pike Cr. The map illustrates a coastal plain geography characterized by significant marshy features like Trumpeter Swamp and the large expanse of Holly Shelter Bay to the north.
