The Cape Fear River and Northeast Cape Fear River converge at the heart of this coastal landscape, defining the industrial and maritime character of the region. On the western bank, the low-lying expanse of Eagle Island sits between the main river and the Brunswick River, while the eastern shore is defined by a dense network of neighborhoods including Sunset Park, Princess Place, and Forest Hills. The map details the transition from the urban core toward the south and east, where residential developments like Echo Farms and Greenbrier meet the natural hydrology of Whiskey Cr and Hewletts Cr.
