About this map

The low-lying wetlands of Brunswick County dominate this landscape, where the Green Swamp gives way to a network of blackwater drainages and coastal plains. Near the intersection of modern transit corridors, the community of Supply serves as a local hub, while the Lockwoods Folly River and Middle River provide the primary hydrological structure for the region. The map reveals a transition from dense swampland and islands, such as Caison Islands and Big Island, to more developed areas around Shallotte.

Family history and local geography are anchored by features like the Galloway Cem and Prospect Cem, providing specific points of reference for genealogists. The influence of the swamp is evident in the naming of local landmarks such as Royal Oak Bridge and Royal Oak Swamp, as well as the secluded Bear Pen Airport. This detailed survey documents the complex drainage patterns of Beaverdam Swamp and Fall Swamp as they appeared in the early 21st century.
