About this map

Town Creek and its many meandering tributaries define this mid-century landscape in Brunswick County. The map documents a period of transition for local transportation, specifically noting that traffic was discontinued on the Wilmington Brunswick and Southern railroad line. Rural life centers around small clusters such as Winnabow, Lanvale, and Bishop, with several community landmarks serving as anchors, including Wayside Church and St James Church. The presence of the Chapel Road School and the Bell Swamp School highlights the local infrastructure of the era. To the north and west, the terrain shifts into the expansive Little Green Swamp, while numerous small bridges like the Winnabow Bridge and Mill Creek Bridge cross the network of creeks and branches that feed into the larger river systems.
