About this map

The Atkinson settlement serves as the primary hub for this Pender County landscape, where small communities and family landholdings are defined by a network of slow-moving coastal waters. To the northwest, Ivanhoe sits near the winding course of the Black River, while Reb Kee is situated north of the expansive Colvins Bay. The terrain is deeply intersected by numerous namesake branches and creeks, including White Oak Br and Big Rattlesnake Cr, which drain into the larger Moores Cr system.

Local navigation and heritage are reflected in the naming of rural routes such as Halfway Branch School Rd and Beattys Bridge Rd. Small-scale water features like Lake Ann and Cypress Lake dot the area, suggesting the importance of these hydrology patterns to the local geography. The map illustrates a contemporary rural structure where modern roads follow the historical contours of the lowland bays and stream beds.
