About this map

The Northeast Cape Fear River snakes through this portion of Duplin County, defining a landscape shaped by slow-moving water and numerous drainage branches. The river is joined by the Goshen Swamp and several family-named tributaries like Sutton Br and Mathews Cr, creating a complex network of wetlands that historically dictated settlement patterns. The small community of Albertson serves as a local hub, while smaller crossroads such as Kornegay, Leon, and Resaca are scattered across the surrounding agricultural lands.

Water management and local industry are evidenced by the Maxwell Millpond and Turner Pond, indicating a history of milling along these coastal plain streams. A distinctive landmark, the Pink Hill Lookout Tower, stands near the center of the sheet, providing a vertical reference point in the relatively level terrain. The naming of numerous rural routes, such as Bill Sutton Rd and John David Grady Rd, offers valuable clues for genealogists tracking family landholdings in this part of North Carolina.
