About this map

The settlement of Penderlea stands as a focal point in this 2010 topographic record, showing the distinct geometric road patterns of a planned community. This rural Pender County landscape is defined by its network of blackwater streams, including Moores Creek, Rockfish Creek, and Crooked Run, which drain the low-lying terrain into the Cape Fear River basin. In the northeast, the outskirts of Wallace and the regional aviation hub at Henderson Field signify the area's modern development.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several family-named burial grounds, such as Alderman Cemetery, Newkirk Cemetery, and Powers Cemetery, which are scattered among the farms and timberlands. Smaller crossroads like Safe and Sunnyside remain connected by historical routes including Cornwallis Rd and Old Mill Rd, reflecting the agrarian and colonial-era roots that persist in this part of eastern North Carolina.
