Abstract:

The Cape Fear River is formed by the confluence of the Deep and Haw Rivers. It flows in a general southeasterly direction and empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The river is navigable as far north as Fayetteville. From Fayetteville down, the quiet waters of the Cape Fear offered quick and inexpensive transportation of logs to the sawmills and lumber yards of the eastern seaport.
