About this map

The Black River winds through this coastal plain landscape where the borders of Sampson, Duplin, and Pender counties converge. In this modern survey, the rural settlement of Harrells serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller communities like Ezzelltown and Newtons Crossroads. The terrain is characterized by extensive wetlands and distinctive landforms such as Bear Bay and Gap Bay, which are drained by a network of waterways including Bulltail Cr and Doctors Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high concentration of family-named burial sites across the township. Notable locations include the uniquely named Iron Mine Burial Ground, as well as the Royal Chapel Cem, Fennell Cem, and Newkirk Cem. Long-standing infrastructure is represented by Newkirks Bridge, while the agricultural character of the region is evident in the numerous secondary roads connecting isolated farmsteads and creek crossings throughout the quadrangle.
