2016 Map of Tar Heel
USGS Topo · Published 2016About this map
The Cape Fear River snakes through the northeastern corner of this coastal plain landscape, defining the northern limits of Tar Heel and White Oak. The terrain is dominated by a complex network of wetlands and bays, such as Tenmile Swamp and Jackson Swamp, which are crisscrossed by historical water-management features like the Allen Pocket Canal and Big Swamp Canal. These canals reflect a long history of attempting to drain the fertile but saturated soils for agricultural use.
