Southport stands as the historic anchor of the Cape Fear River mouth, its grid of streets terminating at the waterfront across from Battery Island. This coastal landscape is defined by the complex intersection of the Elizabeth River, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Cape Fear River. The map meticulously records numerous burial sites of high genealogical value, including the Old Smithville Burying Ground and Northwood Cem, alongside family plots like the Swain Family Cem.
