description

Summary

One of the largest and most striking examples of the U.S Coast Survey's Map of North Carolina’s Cape Fear. Extends from Federal Point south to the top of Cape Fear and then west past Smithville and Fort Caswell to Oak Island (roughly 78.04 Longitude). Upper right quadrant features a detailed inset of the Frying Pan Shoals that extend south from the top of Cape Fear. Offers superb coastal detail of the North Carolina mainland as well as Smith’s Island and Federal Point. From a nautical perspective the map offers a wealth of depths soundings and sailing instructions, as well as information on shoals, light houses, and tides. Represents the culmination of the Coast Survey’s work in this region. The triangulation and topography for this chart was calculated by C. P. Bolles. Hydrography was accomplished by T. A. Jenkins and J. N . Maffitt. This chart was prepared under the supervision of A. D. Bache, one of the most influential Superintendents in the history of the Coast Survey. Issued in the 1855 edition of the Superintendent's Report .
