About this map

Lyman and the surrounding coastal plain of Duplin County are defined by a network of slow-moving waters and rural communities in the early 1980s. The landscape is characterized by the expansive Back Swamp and Tenmile Swamp, where the terrain creates a mosaic of timberland and small family farms. Local life is centered around rural crossroads and spiritual landmarks like Old Bethlehem Ch, Cedar Fork Ch, and Bethany Ch. Transportation and commerce are reflected in the presence of Fountain Airport and a nearby landing strip, while small settlements such as Browning, James, and Fountain dot the secondary roads. The map also captures the transition across the Duplin and Onslow county line, documenting numerous family cemeteries and local water bodies like Lee Baysden Pond that were integral to the area's agricultural identity.
