About this map

Moores Creek National Battlefield sits at the heart of this Pender County landscape, preserving the site of the 1776 Revolutionary War engagement. The surrounding area is defined by the complex hydrology of the Black River and its numerous tributaries, including Moores Creek, Long Creek, and Cane Creek. The terrain is characterized by a high density of named bays—depressions such as Ditch Bay, Lee-Hugh Bay, and Horsepen Bay—which punctuate the low-lying coastal plains.

Settlement patterns reveal small communities like Currie, The Borough, and Montague connected by a network of rural roads such as Old Fayetteville Road and Brinson Road. Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named burial sites, including the Walker Cem, Browning Cem, and Larkins Cem. The presence of the Pettigrew Moore Aerodrome and the Curve of the Railroad Bay further illustrates how aviation and rail infrastructure have shaped the land alongside its deep military history.
