2016 Map of Mooretown

About this map

The Northeast Cape Fear River dominates this corner of the Carolina coastal plain, winding through a complex network of wetlands and tributaries. Along its western banks, the settlement of Mooretown sits amidst a grid of rural roads including Moore Town Rd and Thankful Rd. The geography is defined by low-lying drainages like Trumpeter Swamp and Harrisons Creek, which feed into the primary river system as it flows toward the Pender Co and New Hanover Co line. Genealogists may find interest in the Ashe Cem located near the headwaters of Pike Creek, reflecting the area's long-established family ties. The map illustrates a landscape where modern residential developments, seen in labels like Navillus Blvd, interface with old-growth riverine environments such as Catskin Ck and Merrick Ck.
