2013 Map of Charity

About this map

The Northeast Cape Fear River meanders through the southeastern corner of this Duplin County landscape, defining a terrain dominated by creek drainages and small rural settlements. This 2013 survey illustrates a network of named branches and creeks, such as Island Creek and Maxwell Creek, which shape the local geography and agricultural boundaries. Small communities and historical points of interest like Hancheys Store, Charity, and Greenevers serve as the primary hubs in an area otherwise characterized by timberland and farm plots. The map provides significant genealogical value through the naming of numerous private lanes and roads after local families, including Wells Brothers Rd, Alex Brown Ln, and Minnie Farrior Rd. These labels offer a detailed look at the 21st-century residential patterns in the North Carolina coastal plain, where long-established family names remain deeply tied to the land.
