DESCRIPTION

Chart showing the coast from Little River Inlet, to Cape Fear, Smith's Island, and Frypan Shoals north to New River Inlet. Shows detail up Cape Fear River to Wilmington and inland details. Some delineations for other surveys are depicted at Cape Fear. Some depth soundings and astronomical stations are noted.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

All of our United States Coast Survey (USCS), United States Coast & Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), and similar maps and charts have been professionally unfolded and flattened using humidity baths, semi-permeable membrane and drying blotter techniques. Most others you typically see on eBay have not been, and worse, are quickly and crudely unfolded for the low quality photos you see. Unfolding these maps in that way is damaging and weakens them. Please be aware.
