Are they still known by those names? (Have had no luck in locating a map image showing these watercourses.)" ******************* There is a book, "Duplin Co. Places: past and present" A Guide to Duplin Co., NC by Leon H. Sikes. It lists and gives a short description and location of Water Courses, Communities,River Sites, Ponds & Lakes,Bridges & Fords, Bays and Marshes, and Miscellaneous. It also has maps showing each item listed in the book according to a code in the description. I found all you listed above, but Big Ditch. There were several "Big" this and that, but not a Ditch. As an example: Stewarts Branch: 35b A small branch located in the NW part of the county about .8 mile north of Beautancus. It rises on the east side of SR 1368, flows west crossing SR 1368 and runs into Bear Marsh Branch-Goshen Swamp. Stewarts Branch: 35/b A branch located in the NW section of the county about 6.5 miles ENE of Warsaw. It rises about 1.5 miles ENE of the junction of SR 1304 & SR 1307 on the south side of SR 1307. It flows ESE and runs into Nahunga Creek-Goshen Swamp. The author gives the name the place is know by today and any other names it was known by in the past. SR=Secondary road Barbara S.
