2010 Map of Duart

About this map

The Cape Fear River snakes through this North Carolina landscape, serving as a primary geographic anchor for small riverside communities like Tolar Landing and Prospect Hall Landing. The interior reveals a pattern of rural settlements and agricultural holdings, with names like Duart, Tobermory, and Elease marking local hubs. Water management is a defining feature of the area's development, evidenced by the infrastructure at Marsh Wood Lake Dam, Pages Lake Dam, and Verdery Pond Dam. For those researching family history, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including the Cogdell Cemetery and Willis Creek Cemetery. To the south and west, the terrain transitions into the dense, hydrologically complex environments of Goodman Swamp and Gallberry Swamp, highlighting the interplay between the region's habitable land and its natural wetlands.
