About this map

The Shallotte River winds through the heart of this coastal Brunswick County landscape, defining the boundaries between established towns and developing waterfront communities. The town of Shallotte serves as a northern hub, while the southern shoreline is marked by the expansive growth of Ocean Isle Beach and Sea Trail Plantation. This survey reveals the intricate transition from the dense swamps of the interior, such as Cawcaw Swamp and McMilly Swamp, to the tidal estuaries of Shallotte Sound.

Evidence of the area's maritime and agricultural heritage is visible in labels like Gause Landing and the Brick Landing Plantation. Transportation networks are dominated by US Highway 17 and the Intracoastal Waterway, which facilitates access to Pelican Pointe Marina and the Atlantic through the Shallotte Inlet. Local landmarks like the Shallotte Lookout Tower and Odell Williamson Municipal Airport reflect the mix of forestry management and coastal infrastructure present during this era.
