Title
Preliminary Chart of Frying Pan Shoals and Entrances to Cape Fear River North Carolina.
Description
English: One of the largest and most striking U.S.C.S. Maps 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, which was completed in 1857. The triangulation for this chart was calculated by C. P. Bolles. The topography was completed by C. P. Bolles and J. S Bradford. Hydrography was accomplished by T. A. Jenkins, J. N . Maffitt and J. S. Bradford. Prepared under the supervision of A. D. Bache for the 1857 Report of the Superintendant of the U.S. Coast Survey.
