1944 Map of Winnabow

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Town Creek meanders through the heart of Brunswick County in this 1940s-era topographic study, providing a detailed record of rural settlement before the onset of modern development. The landscape is defined by the winding waterways of Lewis Swamp, Little Green Swamp, and Bell Swamp, which dictated the positioning of early roads like Maco Road and New Hope Road. This era marks a significant transition for local infrastructure, as the Wilmington Brunswick and Southern railroad is noted with discontinued traffic, alongside an Abandoned RR Grade near Woodburn Ch. Genealogists will find substantial value in the mapping of family-named landmarks and local institutions, including the Nelson Cem, Dora Benton Cem, and several country churches such as St James Church and the Wayside Church. Small communities like Winnabow, Lanvale, and Bishop are shown in their mid-century layout, centered around local hubs like the Winnabow School.
