2022 Map of Albertson

About this map

Albertson and Kornegay anchor this rural pocket of Duplin and Lenoir counties, where the Northeast Cape Fear River snakes through a landscape defined by expansive wetlands. The drainage of Goshen Swamp and its numerous tributaries, including Burn Coat Cr and Panther Cr, shapes the local settlement patterns. Small communities like Herrings Crossroads and Pleasant Grove are connected by a network of family-named roads, reflecting a deeply rooted local history. Genealogists will find significant detail in the mapping of several rural burial grounds, including Will Taylor Cem, Westbrook Cem, and the Oak Ridge Memorial Cem. The prominence of water features like Maxwell Millpond and Turner Pond points to a landscape historically dependent on local water resources and hydraulic engineering in the Eastern North Carolina coastal plain.
