About this map

Cliffs of the Neuse State Park and the winding Neuse River dominate the northern landscape of this region along the Wayne and Duplin County line. The terrain transitions from the river bluffs into the dense wetlands of Horsepen Pocosin and the curiously named Devils Woodyard. This 1980 survey reveals a rural landscape deeply rooted in small crossroads communities like Indian Springs, Pricetown, and Hines Crossroads, which are connected by a network of drainage branches including Cabin Br and Jumping Run Branch.

Local history is preserved through numerous rural landmarks such as Spring Creek Sch, Garners Chapel, and Zion Ch. The reliance on local water resources is evident in features like Williams Millpond and Whitfields Pond, while the southern reaches follow the course of the Northeast Cape Fear River. This map serves as an excellent resource for tracing 20th-century family locations and church sites in this eastern North Carolina agricultural belt.
