About this map

The low-lying coastal plain of Duplin County is defined by a dense network of blackwater drainages including the expansive Back Swamp and the meandering Ninemile Cr. In this 2013 survey, small rural clusters like Lyman and Fountain serve as the primary landmarks along the state highway corridor. The landscape is a mosaic of agricultural fields and wetland corridors, where names like Lee Baysden Pond and family-identified roads such as Cyrus Futrell Rd and Vonnie Fountain Ln reflect the deep-rooted local landownership of the region.

Transportation follows the high ground between the watercourses, with Cedar Fork Church Rd and Lyman Rd connecting the scattered settlements. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the community of Cypress Creek sits near the confluence of Cypress Cr and Angola Cr, illustrating how early habitation in this part of North Carolina was closely tied to the subtle elevation changes near the creek banks and swamp edges.
