Wilmington sits at the southern end of the North Carolina coast where the Cape Fear River opens to the Atlantic, a city with deep roots in maritime history, a vibrant waterfront district, and a coastal identity that runs through everything from its architecture to its food culture. The waters around Wilmington are rich with story: the Cape Fear River that gave early settlers passage into the interior, the barrier islands that protect Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach from the open Atlantic, the sounds and creeks of the Brunswick County tidewater. This bathymetric map art print charts all of it with scientific precision.
The depth data behind this print comes from NOAA hydrographic survey records. Every contour is real. You can trace the Cape Fear shipping channel, identify the shoals off Topsail Island, follow the transition from shallow estuary to open Atlantic. It is Wilmington and its surrounding waters as they actually exist, made visible in a way that rewards long looking.
Printed on archival matte paper in sizes from 5 by 7 inches to 24 by 36 inches. Optional framing in black, white, or natural oak ships ready to hang. Unframed prints ship rolled in a protective tube.
