About this map

The town of Wallace serves as the primary hub in this coastal plain landscape, where the street grid transitions into the rural stretches of the Duplin and Pender county line. The geography is defined by the winding course of the Northeast Cape Fear River and its numerous tributaries, including Rockfish Creek and Washington Creek. These waterways once supported early industry, as evidenced by Boney Mill Pond near the settlement of Tin City.

South and east of the river, the landscape becomes significantly more saturated, dominated by the expansive Angola Swamp and the peculiar oxbow formation known as The Horseshoe. Local history researchers will find the smaller communities of Willard and Watha alongside established infrastructure like Riverview Memorial Park and the isolated waters of Camp Newkirk Pond. The area maintains a distinct balance between the residential streets of the northwest and the dense, swampy lowlands that characterize much of the eastern quadrant.
