Shallotte River and its intricate network of tidal creeks and swamps define the character of this coastal North Carolina landscape. The terrain shifts from the heavily wooded Cawcaw Swamp and McMilly Swamp in the north to the barrier island developments of Ocean Isle Beach and Holden Beach along the Atlantic. Historically minded researchers will note the scattering of family burial grounds such as Mintz Cem and Gurganus Cem, which sit near older crossroads like Red Bug and Cool Run. The modernization of the region is evident in the Intracoastal Waterway and the Odell Williamson Municipal Airport, while the inland area retains a traditional coastal-plain layout with The Millpond and numerous small watercourses like Jennies Br and Gold Mine Cr.
