1981 Map of Wallace East

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Northeast Cape Fear River winds through a landscape of dense wetlands and small agricultural settlements in the early 1980s. To the east, the vast Angola Swamp and Angola Bay Game Land dominate the terrain, creating a natural boundary for the development along the Seaboard Coast Line railroad. This rail corridor serves as the backbone for several rural communities, including Willard, Washington, and Watha. In the northwest, Wallace appears as a center of local activity, containing the Municipal Building and Armory. A distinct geological feature, The Horseshoe, marks a sharp bend in the river, while smaller watercourses like Little Rockfish Creek and Sawyer Creek drain the surrounding fields. Local heritage is preserved in sites such as Poston Ch and the Riverview Memorial Park (Cemetery), providing valuable touchpoints for genealogical research in this part of Pender County.
