1943 Map of Winnabow

About this map

Winnabow and the surrounding rural landscape of Brunswick County appear in this mid-century survey as a collection of scattered crossroads and agrarian outposts. The interior is dominated by the Little Green Swamp, a dense wetland system feeding several winding watercourses including Town Creek and Rice Creek. Transportation in this era is defined by transitioning infrastructure, most notably the long Abandoned Railroad Grade stretching northeast toward Lanvale. This old line, once vital for the region's timber or agriculture, was already a relic by the time of the 1943 planetable surveys.
