About this map

Southport serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, where the Cape Fear River meets the Atlantic Ocean. The landscape is dominated by the complex network of tidal creeks and marshlands surrounding Frazier Neck, including Dutchman Creek and the Elizabeth River. Significant military and maritime infrastructure is evident, with Fort Caswell positioned at the tip of Oak Island and the Oak Island Coast Guard Sta monitoring the inlet.
