2010 Map of Chinquapin

About this map

The Northeast Cape Fear River meanders through this Duplin County landscape, defining the character of the coastal plain near the settlement of Chinquapin. The map reveals a rural network of family-named roads, such as Myrtle Sholar Rd and Jimmy Tate Williams Rd, which suggest long-standing local lineages and agricultural ties. To the southeast, Maready and Sholars Crossroads serve as secondary hubs, while the Chinquapin Lookout Tower stands as a notable landmark overlooking the convergence of Muddy Creek and Cypress Creek. The transition from the river lowlands to the higher ground near Sloan is evident in the drainage patterns of Stocking Head Creek, illustrating the environmental factors that shaped early homesteading and modern infrastructure in this North Carolina interior.
