2019 Map of Topsail

About this map

Holly Shelter Swamp dominates the northern reaches of this coastal landscape, where a network of woods and wetlands is accessed by historic corridors like Military Rd and Tram Rd. Towards the coast, the terrain transitions into the developed settlements of Woodside and Topsail, eventually reaching the barrier island environment of Topsail Beach. The geography here is defined by its relation to the water, with Catskin Cr, Trumpeter Swamp, and Godfrey Cr draining the lowlands toward the Intracoastal Waterway. This survey illustrates the intricate balance between the vast protected wetlands and the residential expansion along the Topsail Sound, providing a precise record of local road networks and shoreline developments in Pender County.
