2016 Map of Rose Hill

About this map

The town of Rose Hill serves as a central hub in this Duplin County landscape, characterized by a transition from the structured grid of the town center to the wetlands and creek branches that define the surrounding coastal plain. Transportation corridors such as Yellow Cut Rd and Cornwallis Rd link smaller settlements like Teachey and Brices Crossroads. The hydrology of the region is prominent, with Rockfish Cr and Duff Cr meandering through the terrain, while man-made features like Johnsons Lake and Lake Tut indicate the management of local water resources. Genealogists and local historians will find value in landmarks such as Wells Cem and the Duplin Memorial Gardens, as well as the family names associated with the rural road network. The map reveals a rural economy shaped by proximity to the railroad and the fertile, albeit marshy, lands surrounding Rockfish Meadows and Bear Ford.
