2010 Map of Winnabow

About this map

Winnabow and the surrounding Brunswick County lowlands are defined by a complex network of coastal plains drainage, where Town Creek and Rice Creek meander through a landscape of named swamps and branches. This 2010 survey documents the intersection of rural heritage and modern transportation, showing established settlements like Bishop, Lanvale, and Henrytown alongside newer residential patterns near Leland Post Office. The local geography is tied to its water, with Rice Creek Bridge and Sturgeon Creek Bridge serving as vital connectors. Genealogical interest is anchored by Benton Cemetery and Nelson Cemetery, while the presence of the Winnabow Airport and the distinct community of Easy Hill illustrates the area's transition toward more diverse land use at the start of the decade. The map reveals how the modern road network, including Governors Rd SE and Village Rd NE, has shaped the growth of communities like Spring Hill and Bell Swamp.
