2022 Map of Winnabow

About this map

Town Creek and its extensive wetlands dominate the lower Brunswick County landscape, winding through a mosaic of coastal plains and emerging suburban development. Modern growth is concentrated in the northeast near Leland, Belville, and Navassa, where a dense network of residential streets branches off from major transit corridors. In contrast, the southern and western portions of the quadrangle remain defined by water and forest, where the namesake Town Creek settlement and Winnabow reflect a more traditional rural character. Researchers will find numerous family-named cemeteries and landmarks, including the Benton Cem and Nelson Cem, which provide valuable anchors for genealogical study. The presence of the Winnabow Airport and various named drainages like Mallory Creek and Jackeys Cr illustrate the area's transition from a marshy timber and agricultural region to an expanding coastal community.
