About this map

Wilmington serves as the industrial and maritime hub for this coastal survey, where the North East Cape Fear River and Cape Fear River converge. The city's 1940s infrastructure is clearly defined, featuring the Union Station rail terminal and the U.S. Customs House along the waterfront. Southward, the landscape transitions into tidal marshes and islands such as Eagles Island and Campbell Island.
