2013 Map of Wallace East

About this map

Wallace serves as the primary hub in this corner of Pender and Duplin counties, where the grid of city streets transitions into the wooded lowlands of the Coastal Plain. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Northeast Cape Fear River and its many tributaries, including Rockfish Cr and Sawyer Cr. To the south, the community of Watha sits near the small waters of Lewis Cr, while the planned residential patterns of the Penderlea Homesteads and the neighboring Penderlea Lake reflect the unique mid-century rural development of the region. The transport network is anchored by several rail-adjacent roads like NW Railroad St and SE Railroad St, which historically served the agricultural centers of Tin City and Willard. Infrastructure for the modern era is represented by the Henderson Field Airport and the corridor of Interstate 40 crossing the terrain.
