Wilmington

Wilmington sits near the southeastern coast and has a low-lying, relatively flat topography with an average elevation around 36 feet above sea level. The terrain is characterized by coastal plains with minimal elevation changes, making the landscape generally flat as it gently slopes toward the Atlantic Ocean. This area is also influenced by proximity to the Cape Fear River and various tidal creeks, contributing to flood-prone lowlands, especially during heavy rains and tropical storms. The surrounding terrain includes sandy soils and marshy wetlands, which are typical of coastal environments in North Carolina.
