About this map

The boundary between Pender Co New Hanover Co cuts through a landscape defined by the transition from upland woods to the tidal marshes of the Atlantic coast. This orthophotomap, based on 1969 aerial photography, reveals the established footprints of Scotts Hill and Murraysville as they appeared before modern coastal development intensified. The Seaboard Coast Line RR provides a clear industrial corridor through the inland sections, passing near the growing clusters at Ogden and Midway.

Along the eastern edge, the complex hydrology of the Intracoastal Waterway and the Pages Creek Tidal Flat illustrates the natural barrier system shielding the mainland. Notable local landmarks include Prospect Cem and Clontz Mem Ch, which serve as anchors for the rural communities of Porters and Neck. The map also captures infrastructure of the era, such as the Radio Facility and Radio Tower, alongside developing residential zones near Blair Sch and Noble Jr High Sch.
