1980 Map of Mooretown

About this map

The Northeast Cape Fear River dominates this 1980 color infrared orthophotograph, winding through the dense, low-lying wetlands of Pender County. The settlement of Mooretown sits near the riverbank, serving as a rare point of development in a landscape defined by expansive peatlands and pocosin ecosystems. The eastern half of the map is largely occupied by the Holly Shelter Bay and Holly Shelter Swamp, a massive natural area where drainage is defined by slow-moving water bodies like Trumpeter Swamp and Catskin Creek.
