2019 Map of Wilmington

About this map

Eagle Island sits at the heart of this coastal landscape, bifurcated by the Northeast Cape Fear River and the main channel of the Cape Fear River. The city of Wilmington dominates the eastern bank, showcasing a dense grid of streets and significant historical sites like Oakdale Cem and the Saint James Episcopal Cem. Across the water, the western shore transitions into the marshy reaches of Alligator Creek and Jackeys Creek, where the settlements of Leland, Belville, and Navassa represent the expanding footprint of the region. Navigational markers such as the Fourth East Jetty Range and Upper Brunswick Range indicate the importance of the maritime corridor. To the south, the landscape features Silver Lake and the residential community of Myrtle Grove Junction, while multiple smaller waterways like Hewletts Creek and Barnards Creek drain the coastal plain.
