2013 Map of Delway

About this map

Delway and Shanghai anchor this landscape in Sampson County, where a dense network of blackwater creeks and Carolina bays shapes the local geography. The map depicts a rural agricultural and timber landscape defined by large wetland depressions known as Harvells Bay and Pig in Bay, characteristic of the coastal plain. Transport in the area follows long-established routes such as S NC Highway 903 and Trinity Church Rd, connecting the scattered settlements of Waycross and Taylors Bridge. Numerous family-named roads, including Peg Leg Rd and Alice Kattie Ln, suggest a deeply rooted community structure. Waterways like Quewhiffle Cr and Clear Run drain the low-lying terrain, while Hall Pond serves as a distinct inland water feature amidst the surrounding timberlands and fields.
