1997 Map of Scotts Hill

About this map

The coastal transition of New Hanover County is captured here in the late 1990s, where inland developments like Kings Grant and Murraysville meet the labyrinthine tidal waters of the Atlantic coast. The map illustrates a landscape defined by its relation to the water, from the Cape Fear R in the west to the Middle Sound and Intracoastal Waterway in the east. Settlements such as Porters Neck and Ogden show significant residential expansion, yet the map retains evidence of older community anchors including Oak Grove Ch, Middle Sound Ch, and Prospect Cem.
