1943 Map of Winnabow

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Town Creek and its many winding tributaries, including Rice Creek and Mallory Creek, dominate this coastal North Carolina landscape. At the time of this 1943 survey, the area was characterized by small agricultural settlements and rural infrastructure, including the Bell Swamp Sch and the Wayside Ch near Winnabow. The map reveals the early 20th-century transportation network, featuring an Abandoned Railroad Grade that cuts across the terrain toward Lanvale. Family history is rooted in landmarks like Benton Cem and Nelson Cem, while the expansive Little Green Swamp defines the western edge of the quadrangle. Other small communities such as Elijah, Spring Hill, and Henrytown appear connected by a mix of light-duty and unimproved roads, reflecting the slow pace of development in rural Northwest Brunswick County during the war years.
