Flood toy for Wilmington, North Carolina

Wilmington flood toy and water map

Use this Wilmington, North Carolina flood toy to inspect the Cape Fear River, Wrightsville Beach shoreline, and low ground across the coastal plain. The page opens directly on Wilmington instead of making you pan from the national view.

What you can do

• Open a Wilmington-centered map instead of manually panning across the U.S.
• Watch animated water fill low ground around the Cape Fear River, Wrightsville Beach shoreline, and low ground across the coastal plain.
• Start with a 3.0m setup, then adjust the slider for milder or more extreme water levels.
• Copy a permalink for the exact Wilmington scenario you want to share.

How to use it

1. Start with the default Wilmington map view and pan toward the shoreline, river, or neighborhood you care about.
2. Use the slider to raise the water and compare milder or more extreme scenarios.
3. Click a specific point on the map for a location-based risk sample, then copy the permalink if you want the same view later.

Model notes

Wilmington sits at the mouth of the Cape Fear River on a low coastal plain, and is a frequent landfall target for Atlantic hurricanes. FloodMap USA is a screening tool for exploration and comparison, not a substitute for surveys, FEMA products, insurance decisions, or emergency instructions.
