2019 Map of Wallace West

About this map

Wallace and the planned agricultural community of Penderlea anchor this corner of the Coastal Plain, where Duplin, Sampson, and Pender counties meet. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Rockfish Cr and Moores Cr, which historically dictated the pattern of early settlement and road placement. The prevalence of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds such as Alderman Cem, White Cem, and Gurganus Cem provides significant genealogical context for the region's long-standing families. Transportation is centralized around the hub at Wallace, where routes like W Main St and Boney Bridge RD connect the town to outlying aviation sites like Henderson Field. The map reveals a transition from these structured town centers to the grid-like rural road systems that support the area's agricultural heritage.
