USGS Topo · Published 1969About this map
Fort Caswell anchors the tip of Oak Island where the Cape Fear River meets the Atlantic Ocean, a strategic coastal position documented in this late-1960s civil reprint. The town of Southport serves as a hub of activity, featuring the Dosher Hospital, a Training School, and a cluster of Army Barracks near the waterfront. The surrounding landscape of Smithville is defined by a complex network of marshes and waterways including the Intracoastal Waterway, Frazier Neck, and numerous branches like Dutchman Creek and Elizabeth River.
