About this map

Albertson serves as a focal point in this Duplin County landscape, situated near the headwaters of numerous creeks and branches that feed the Northeast Cape Fear River. The geography is defined by its extensive wetland networks, most notably the Goshen Swamp and the sprawling Tandam Br, which lace through the agricultural and timbered terrain. Small rural settlements like Kornegay, Leon, and Pleasant Grove are connected by a web of family-named roads such as John David Grady Rd and H R Kornegay Ave, reflecting deep-rooted land ownership patterns.

Genealogists can find significant local history in the distribution of family burial grounds, including Taylor Cem, Westbrook Cem, and Gradys Cem. The presence of Maxwell Millpond and Tanner Pond suggests historical water-management for local industry or milling, while Millers Bridge indicates a critical crossing over the river. This survey captures a rural North Carolina community where the natural hydrology of the Coastal Plain continues to shape transportation and settlement.
