About this map

The Black River forms a natural boundary on this landscape, winding along the western edge near the settlement of Ivanhoe. The terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands and significant natural basins, including Colvins Bay and Hawes Marsh, which dominate the central and southwestern portions of the quadrangle. In the southeast, the town of Atkinson serves as a local hub, with its street grid including W Main St and N Rankin St clearly delineated.

Smaller communities like Newtown and Reb Kee are interspersed among a network of rural routes such as Beattys Bridge Rd and Shiloh Rd. Genealogists and local historians can find several established family burial grounds, including Marshburn Cem, Corbett Cem, and Woodcock Cem. The drainage patterns of Tuckahoe Br and Big Rattlesnake Cr reveal the intricate hydrology of this Pender and Sampson County border region.
