2010 Map of Turkey

About this map

The town of Turkey and the nearby community of Moltonville center this coastal plain landscape in Duplin County, defined by a dense network of creek-fed mills and local road systems. This modern survey illustrates the persistent importance of watercourses such as Six Runs Creek and Stewarts Creek, where historical crossings like Kirbys Bridge and Reeds Ford Bridge maintain the area's rural connectivity. Aviation activity is noted at the uniquely named Yam Yankees Airport west of Elliott, while long-standing local landmarks like New Hope Cemetery provide points of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in the region. The map reveals a transition of nomenclature from the larger settlements to smaller locales like Baltic, all tied together by names that reflect a long history of water-powered industry, including Carltons Mill Run and Sikes Mill Run.
