About this map

Moores Creek National Battlefield preserves the site of a pivotal early American Revolutionary War conflict, situated along the winding Moores Creek north of Currie. This Pender County landscape is defined by its intricate blackwater systems, where the Black River flows past numerous cypress-rich islands and coves like Birds Cove Island and Thorofare Island. The map reveals a high density of family cemeteries scattered across the lowlands, including the Lamb Cem, Walker Cem, and Malpass Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research.

Small agricultural and timber-oriented settlements like Montague, Yamacraw, and The Borough are connected by a network of rural routes such as Blueberry Rd and Old Fayetteville Rd. The terrain is characterized by distinctive bays and basins common to the Carolina coastal plain, such as Horsepen Bay and Ditch Bay, highlighting the unique geomorphology of the Long Creek area. Modern infrastructure, including 421, bisects these older land divisions, tracing the evolution of transport through this riverine corridor.
