About this map

Cypress Creek and its many winding tributaries, including Bee Branch and Buxton Branch, define the low-lying drainage patterns of this Pender County landscape. The area is characterized by a network of rural crossroads and small communities that have persisted through the early 21st century. Costin and Piney Wood sit along the primary north-south corridor, while Wards Corner and Malpass Corner anchor the southern portion of the sheet.

For those researching family history, several burial sites are documented across the terrain, such as Walker Cemetery near the community of Rhyne Crossroad and Page Cemetery further south. The map also captures several family-named landmarks and local infrastructure like Herring Cemetery and the intriguing water feature simply labeled The Lake. The road network, including the Penderlea Highway, connects these scattered settlements, illustrating the rural residential character of the region.
