About this map

The Borough and Montague sit amidst a complex network of coastal plains drainage in this 2010 study of Pender County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Black River, which creates distinctive landforms like Birds Cove Island, Thorofare Island, and D Island. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally dense with family-named burial sites, ranging from the Chadwick Cemetery in the north near Yamacraw to the Malpass Cemetery and Henry Cemetery further south.

Logistics and transport are anchored by the Currie Post Office and a series of river access points, including Dick Taylor Landing and Burnt Landing. The reliance on local waterways and creeks such as Moores Creek, Long Creek, and Rileys Creek illustrates the historic importance of these corridors in North Carolina's coastal interior, even as modern roads like Blueberry Rd and Richard Switch Rd provide the primary infrastructure for contemporary travel.
