2019 Map of Afton

About this map

Afton and the neighboring settlements of Elberon and Parktown define the upper reaches of the North Carolina coastal plain near the Warren Co and Franklin Co line. This landscape is deeply etched by a network of waterways including Shocco Cr and the Little Shocco Cr, which create the undulating terrain typical of the region. The map captures a transition in local infrastructure, where modern corridors like Dr Martin Luther King Jr Blvd intersect with older routes such as Stagecoach Rd and Hamme Mill Rd. For the local historian, the map preserves the names of numerous family farms and local landmarks, from the waters of Hammes Mill Pond to the small community at Lickskillet in the south, reflecting the area's enduring rural character and agricultural roots.
