About this map

The Northeast Cape Fear River defines the southeastern border of this landscape, its winding channel flanked by marshy lowlands like those found in the Angola Bay Game Land. This inland portion of Duplin County shows a pattern of rural settlements and agricultural activity in the early 1980s, centered around the community of Charity and the growing town of Greenevers. Local life is anchored by a significant concentration of country churches and small educational hubs, including New Christian Chapel, Guiding Star Ch, and the Charity Jr HS.

Transportation through the region is marked by an Old Railroad Grade that cuts diagonally across the terrain, indicating a legacy of early rail-and-timber industry. To the south, the expansion of Wallace and Teachey is evident, while the presence of landmarks like Hancheys Store and Cartersville reflects the long-standing importance of small crossroads commerce. Numerous watercourses, such as Elder Creek and Maxwell Creek, provide drainage for the expansive timberlands and fields that dominate this coastal plain region.
