About this map

Little Penholoway Creek and its associated wetlands define the low-lying geography of this Wayne County landscape during the mid-1990s. The settlement pattern is anchored by small communities such as McKinnon and Broadhurst, which align along the primary transportation corridor that bisects the quadrangle. This corridor also hosts a Lookout Tower near Sun Hill, indicating the region's reliance on forestry management and fire prevention.

Genealogists can identify several distinct burial grounds, including the Old German Cem in the northeast and Rogers Cem near the central creeks. The presence of Duck Pond and the marshy expanse of Piney Bay reflect the poorly drained coastal plain terrain, where unpaved routes like Oil Well Road and Star Road provide access to the interior. The map illustrates a rural environment where land use is dictated by the slow-moving drainage of the Penholoway Creek system.
