2013 Map of Topsail

About this map

Topsail and Hampstead anchor this coastal Pender County landscape, where residential expansion increasingly intermingles with the region's traditional maritime and agricultural foundations. The map documents a complex network of residential developments such as Topsail Plantation and Annandale, woven between older landmarks like Topsail Schools and the Woodside community. Along the Atlantic coast, the geography is defined by the tidal reach of Nixon Cr and Nixon Landing, transitioning into the dense interior wetlands of Trumpeter Swamp and Catskin Cr. Significant thoroughfares including Military Rd and Tram Rd trace historic transportation corridors through the low-lying terrain. This survey provides a precise look at the 21st-century evolution of the Pender County shoreline, showing how modern infrastructure has adapted to the natural drainage patterns of Godfrey Cr and Harrisons Cr.
