1944 Map of Shallotte
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
The coastal village of Shallotte and its surrounding Brunswick County wetlands are documented in this 1944 War Department survey, produced during the height of the Second World War. The landscape is defined by the winding Shallotte River and its numerous tidal tributaries like Little Shallotte River and Shallotte Sound, while the southern edge of the map reveals a rugged shoreline including Hales Beach and the shifting Sand Dunes. Evidence of local infrastructure includes the Shallotte Fire Tower, the Coast Guard Station near the inlet, and a Prison Camp located north of the main settlement. Genealogy and local history researchers will find several landmarks like the Brunswick Co School and family-named markers such as Mintz Cem and Gurganus Cem. The map also preserves traces of older transportation networks, such as the Old RR Grade and the Starboard Road.
