About this map

Town Creek and its meandering tributaries, including Rice Creek and Mallory Creek, define the coastal plain landscape of Brunswick County as it appeared in the late 1980s. This survey records a transition from the dense wetlands of the Green Swamp to the expanding residential and industrial corridors near Leland. Evidence of the region’s transportation history is visible in the Old Railroad Grade and Old RR Gr segments that cut through the terrain.

Local civic and religious life is well-documented through numerous landmarks such as North Brunswick High Sch, the Winnabow Airport, and several rural congregations including Blackwell Chapel and St Mary Ch. For genealogists, the map identifies small family or community burial sites like Benton Cem and Nelson Cem. The mix of small settlements like Bishop and Lanvale alongside utility infrastructure, including a Sewage Disp facility and Radio Towers, captures the area's modern development pattern while maintaining its rural character.
