2013 Map of Wallace West

About this map

The agrarian community of Penderlea and the western outskirts of Wallace anchor this landscape, illustrating the late-20th-century character of Pender County. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the winding Rockfish Cr and Moores Cr, which dictate the placement of roads like Willard Rd and Englishtown Rd. Small settlements such as Sunnyside and Safe are interspersed between the drainages of Sills Cr and Doctors Cr, reflecting a rural settlement pattern where aviation also plays a role. Both Safe Field Airport and Henderson Field Airport are situated here, suggesting the importance of private and regional flight in this part of North Carolina. Numerous family-named roads, such as Bea Williams Rd and Jesse Lanier Ln, offer specific geographical points of interest for those researching local lineage and land use in the early 2010s.
