About this map

Stedman and Autryville anchor the high ground in this coastal plain landscape, separated by the winding course of the South River which defines the border between Sampson and Cumberland counties. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of Carolina bays and expansive wetlands, ranging from the large oval of Sewell Bay to the intricate reaches of Gallberry Swamp. These low-lying features create a unique drainage pattern where small streams like Sandy Cr and Beaver Dam Cr navigate between numerous pocosin and swamp depressions.

Industrial and agricultural history is visible in landmarks such as Simmons Mill Pond and Smiths Mill Bay, suggesting the long-standing reliance on local water resources. The road network, including Autry Hwy and rural routes like Turnbull Rd, skirts around significant natural features like The Pocosin and Vineyard Swamp. This map provides a detailed view of the interaction between residential development in small townships and the vast, saturated basins that dominate the surrounding countryside.
