About this map

The town of Turkey and the small settlement of Elliott anchor this coastal plain landscape in Duplin County, defined by a complex network of slow-moving blackwater streams and historical mill sites. The drainage pattern is dominated by Six Runs Cr and its many tributaries, including Carltons Mill Run and Sikes Mill Run, indicating a legacy of water-powered industry that once shaped the local economy.

A network of family-named roads and rural lanes, such as Old Lucas Dairy Ln and Pearson Farm Ln, connect these watercourses to established crossings like Reeds Ford Bridge and Kirbys Bridge. The presence of Baltic in the northeast further illustrates the era's scattered agricultural community structure, where small hubs served as the social and commercial centers for surrounding homesteads and farms.
