About this map

Moores Cr and Cypress Cr define the hydrological character of this Pender County landscape, where small agricultural settlements are clustered around key intersections and drainages. The area is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries, such as Walker Cem, Page Cem, and Herring Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. Communities like Costin, Piney Wood, and Wards Corner serve as local hubs, connected by a network of rural roads such as Shiloh Rd and Piney Woods Rd. To the south, Malpass Corner and Yamacraw show the continued importance of these named crossroads in the regional geography. The map also identifies distinct water features including The Lake and several branches like Bear Den Br and White Oak Br, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the coastal plain.
