2016 Map of Wilmington

About this map

The Cape Fear River and Northeast Cape Fear River converge at Wilmington, defining the commercial and topographic heart of this coastal region. To the west, the river system splits around Eagle Island, separating the urban center from the growing communities of Leland and Belville. This 2016 survey illustrates the modern layout of the city, from the historic northern reaches near Oakdale Cem to the educational corridor of the Univ of N Carolina-Wilmington in the east. The landscape is characterized by its complex hydrology, where creeks like Barnards Cr and Mott Cr drain into the main channel. Notable landmarks include the Greenfield Lake recreational area and industrial points along the river such as Dream Tree Point Clarks Island and the Fourth East Jetty Range.
