The Cape Fear River and Brunswick River converge to define this coastal landscape, isolating the large expanse of Eagle Island between their channels. In the 1990s, the urban footprint of Wilmington shows significant density, with civic and cultural landmarks like the USS North Carolina Battleship Memorial and the University of North Carolina at Wilmington serving as anchors. The maritime and industrial character of the waterfront is evidenced by the State Ports Authority facilities and the network of the Seaboard Coast Line railroad tracks serving the docks.
