About this map

The Northeast Cape Fear River meanders across the border of Wayne and Duplin Counties, defining a landscape of wetlands and small agricultural communities. This 2016 survey shows the intricate drainage network supporting the region, including Horsepen Br, Jumping Run Br, and Wolfscrape Br. The topography is marked by distinctive pocosin environments, most notably the Horsepen Pocosin and the curiously named Devils Woodyard.

Settlement patterns are concentrated at historic junctions such as Hines Crossroads, Pricetown, and Blizzards Crossroads. Local history is preserved in family and community landmarks like Jones Cem, Shines Bridge, and Williams Millpond. The map also details water features such as Lake Genele and Holly Lake, illustrating how the hydrology of the coastal plain has shaped the road networks and farm placements in this part of North Carolina.
