2019 Map of Delway

About this map

Taylors Bridge and Waycross sit within a landscape defined by the low-lying wetlands and complex drainage systems of the North Carolina coastal plain. The border between Sampson Co and Duplin Co cuts through the eastern portion of the map, separating rural communities such as Delway and Shanghai. The terrain is marked by distinctive pocosin-like features including Harrells Bay and Pig-in Bay, which dominate the southern half of the quadrangle. A dense network of family-named cemeteries, such as Merritt Memorial Cem, Snipes Cem, and Wells Cem, is scattered throughout the region, providing significant points of interest for genealogical research. This 2019 survey documents the modern road network, including Rogers Mill RD and Waycross RD, as it navigates around major water bodies like Six Runs Creek and Clear Run.
