The vast wetlands of the Angola Swamp dominate this landscape along the border of Duplin and Pender counties. Located in the southeastern corner of the sheet, the Northeast Cape Fear River winds past Shelter Neck, providing a natural drainage for the surrounding lowlands. The terrain is characterized by subtle rises like Blue Ridge and Long Straw Ridge, which stand out against the saturated swamp floor. Near the northern boundary, the community of Pin Hook serves as a small hub of activity. Numerous family-named roads, such as David Walker Ln and Buck Pierce Ln, branch off from through-routes like Angola Bay Rd, revealing the layout of rural landownership and local access points within this ecologically complex region.
