2013 Map of Maple Hill

About this map

Angola and Maple Hill anchor this coastal plain landscape in Pender County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of slow-moving blackwater streams and vast wetlands. The hydrology is dominated by Sandy Run Swamp and Little Sandy Run Swamp in the southeast, while drainage to the north and west is managed by Angola Cr, Tenmile Cr, and the winding Moores Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates a modern rural infrastructure laid over much older land divisions, visible in long-established routes like Sholar Mill Rd and Lightwood Bridge Rd. The area maintains its agricultural and timber character, with scattered residential clusters such as Newport, Holyfield, and Dehavilland situated near a local Landing Fld. The prominence of Holly Shelter Cr suggests the proximity of significant protected game lands and wetlands that have historically shaped settlement patterns in this part of North Carolina.
