2022 Map of Wallace West

About this map

Penderlea sits at the heart of this coastal plain landscape, characterized by a complex network of blackwater streams and historical family cemeteries. The area is defined by the confluence of Doctors Cr and Rockfish Cr, which meander through a patchwork of agricultural lands and wooded swamps. This 2022 survey documents the intersection of Duplin, Pender, and Sampson counties, revealing how modern infrastructure like Henderson Field and the Wallace Airport Rd coexist with deep-rooted community landmarks. Genealogy seekers will find significant value in the mapped locations of several burial grounds, including the Rockfish Presbyterian Church Cem, Alderman Cem, and Newkirk Cem, which anchor the local history of small settlements such as Wallace. The intricate drainage patterns of Moores Cr and Sills Cr illustrate the low-lying terrain that has shaped the region's development and land use for generations.
