About this map

Shallotte and the surrounding coastal communities are captured here as they appeared in 2022, showing the significant development along the Brunswick County shoreline. This coastal landscape is defined by the Shallotte River and a network of swampy tributaries like Cawcaw Swamp and McMilly Swamp that feed into the Intracoastal Waterway. The map details the transition from inland settlements like Russtown and Cool Run to the barrier island beach communities of Ocean Isle Beach, Sunset Beach, and Holden Beach.

Genealogists and local historians will find several family-named burial grounds, including Mintz Cem, Brooks Cem, and Gurganus Cem. The infrastructure of the modern era is represented by the Odell Williamson Municipal Airport and the bridge connections across Shallotte Sound to the islands. The presence of The Millpond and various creeks like Needham Hole Creek and Gold Mine Cr point to the area's older agricultural and maritime roots before it became a major vacation destination.
