2013 Map of Chinquapin

About this map

The Northeast Cape Fear River meanders through Duplin County, defining the drainage patterns and transportation corridors of this rural landscape. The settlement of Chinquapin serves as a central hub, where routes such as Old Chinquapin Rd and Jimmy Tate Williams Rd converge near the banks of Muddy Cr. The map captures a detailed network of family-named roads, including Arliss Albertson Rd and Joe Hop Williams Rd, which reflect the area's agricultural genealogy. To the south, Sholars Crossroads and the settlement of Sloan anchor the local road network, while the Chinquapin Lookout Tower stands as a distinctive landmark near Cypress Cr. This survey documents the persistent rural character of the North Carolina coastal plain, showing how tributaries like Stocking Head Cr shape the movement and settlement patterns between small communities like Maready.
