About this map

The Northeast Cape Fear River dominates this landscape on the Duplin and Lenoir county line, where slow-moving water and dense wetlands like Goshen Swamp define the geography. Centered on Albertson, the region is a patchwork of rural crossroads and community hubs, including Herrings Crossroads and Kornegay. The map details the civic and spiritual foundations of the area, noting the Albertson Adult Education Center, Grady High Sch, and numerous country churches such as Piney Grove Ch and Bethany Ch.

Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible in the presence of the Pink Hill Lookout Tower, a radio tower, and several named water features like Maxwell Millpond and Jenkins Pond. The numerous unnamed cemeteries (Cem) scattered across the terrain near Mathews Branch and Sawyer Creek suggest a long-settled rural history, with the river serving as a persistent boundary and topographical anchor for the surrounding farms and hamlets.
