1943 Map of Supply

About this map

Green Swamp dominates the northern reaches of this 1943 survey, revealing a landscape defined by expansive wetlands and isolated rises like Big Island and Little Island. The drainage patterns of the Lockwoods Folly River and its numerous tributaries, including Middle River and Royal Oak Swamp, dictated the early settlement patterns of Brunswick County. Human activity is concentrated along the higher ground of Prospect Ridge, where the community of Prospect is anchored by Prospect Ch. Further east, the village of Supply serves as a local hub near the Royal Oak Bridge. The map also preserves the route of an old Railroad Grade and the Old Williams Br Grade, signaling former timber or industrial operations that once traversed the dense bays and islands like Bear Pen Islands.
