About this map

Camp Davis and its surrounding military infrastructure dominate the northern landscape of this coastal Pender County study, reflecting the area's mobilization during the 1940s. The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad cuts a straight diagonal through the terrain, connecting inland points to the coastal settlements of Holly Ridge and Hampstead. Along the shoreline, the Inland Waterway separates the mainland from the barrier islands, punctuated by dozens of family-named docks and landings like Sears Landing, Bellamy Landing, and Nixon Landing. These features highlight a maritime economy transitioning toward modern coastal development while maintaining deep roots in local geography.
