About this map

The Northeast Cape Fear River meanders through this Pender County landscape, defining the character of small riverine settlements and extensive wetlands. In the northern reaches, Shelter Neck and Shaken sit near the winding banks of Holly Shelter Creek, while central hubs like White Stocking and Plear are connected by a network of local roads such as Bannerman Rd. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the namesake Stag Park and the nearby Stag Air Park, reflecting a transition toward modern aviation infrastructure alongside traditional rural living.

Familiar family names appear in the local geography through landmarks like Walkers and numerous creek systems, including Lillington Cr and Ashes Cr. The influence of the Shaw Hwy and secondary roads like Croomsbridge RD provide evidence of the region's connectivity between the river's bends and the surrounding woodland corridors. This 2022 survey captures a snapshot of a community where the natural hydrology of the Cape Fear basin continues to dictate the patterns of settlement and transport.
