About this map

Watha and Wallace anchor the western edge of this coastal plain survey, situated within a landscape defined by the winding course of the Northeast Cape Fear River. The area serves as a transit corridor where the modern highway system and the CSX Railroad run parallel, cutting through the dense bottomlands of Angola Swamp. Small settlements like Willard and Tin City are connected by rural routes such as Mail Route Rd, reflecting the region’s agricultural and timber-based heritage.

Hydrological features dominate the eastern half of the map, notably the oxbow bend at The Horseshoe and the sprawling wetlands around Rockfish Creek. Local landmarks including Henderson Field and Riverview Memorial Park provide glimpses into community infrastructure. For researchers, the map details many local access points and small water bodies like Boney Mill Pond and Camp Newkirk Pond, illustrating the intricate relationship between the local communities and the river-fed terrain of Pender and Duplin counties.
