Town Creek and the surrounding coastal plains of Brunswick County are defined by a complex drainage network that includes Rice Creek and Mallory Creek. This landscape shows a distinct pattern of residential expansion moving outward from the established centers of Leland and Belville. The map details smaller settlements like Eliah, Bishop, and Lanvale, which are interspersed between expansive natural areas such as the Little Green Swamp and Beaverdam Swamp. Local history and genealogy are preserved through the locations of the Benton Cem and Nelson Cem, alongside landmarks such as the Winnabow Airport. The transportation network is anchored by several bridges, including the Sturgeon Creek Bridge and Rice Creek Bridge, which connect these disparate coastal communities across the wetlands of Bell Swamp and Mill Creek.
