About this map

Fort Fisher and the defensive installations of the Lower Cape Fear dominate this post-war coastal survey. The map details the intricate tidal geography where the Cape Fear River meets the Atlantic Ocean, showing a landscape defined by shifting sands and maritime infrastructure. Significant historical markers include the Old Lighthouse and Battery Buchanan on Federal Point, as well as the long The Rocks breakwater extending from Zekes Island to channel the river's flow.
