1990 Map of Southport
USGS Topo · Published 1991About this map
Southport stands as the historic anchor of this Brunswick County coastline, where the Cape Fear River meets the Atlantic Ocean. By the late 1980s, the area reflects a complex layering of maritime defense and growing coastal communities. The southern edge is defined by the expansive barrier island developments of Long Beach, Yaupon Beach, and Caswell Beach, while the legendary Fort Caswell guards the entrance to the river. Inland, the landscape is a network of marshes and creeks like Dutchman Creek and Jump and Run Creek, punctuated by small settlements and rural landmarks.
