About this map

The Neuse River and Northeast Cape Fear River define the agricultural and wooded landscape of this southeastern North Carolina region during the late 1970s. The topography is marked by distinctive swampy features like Horsepen Pocosin and Devils Woodyard, while recreational centers such as Cliffs Of The Neuse State Park and Camp Jubilee occupy the northern riverbanks.

Settlement patterns follow the high ground between the river systems, characterized by rural junctions and crossroads like Hines Crossroads, Pricetown, and Blizzards Crossroads. Local life and genealogy are anchored by several small congregations and family landmarks, including Wayne Chapel, Best Chapel, and Smiths Chapel. The inclusion of various industrial and rural features, from the Sandpit near Mill Branch to the Spring Creek Sch, provides a clear view of the area's mid-century community structure before further modern development.
