2016 Map of Bonnetsville

About this map

Bonnetsville and the surrounding coastal plain of Sampson County are defined by a network of slow-moving waterways and agricultural settlements. The landscape is characterized by the broad, wooded corridors of Bearskin Swamp and Little Coharie Cr, which segment the region into distinct farming communities like Snow Hill and Highsmiths. The mapping reveals a pattern of rural land use where small ponds, such as Halls Pond and Williams Pond, served as local landmarks alongside named roads like Andrews Chapel Rd and Fleet Cooper Rd. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the transition from Mintz to the area labeled Old Savanna suggests the historical character of the terrain before modern drainage. Large wetland systems, particularly Great Coharie Cr along the eastern edge, continue to influence the placement of residences and the winding paths of rural routes like Boykin Bridge Rd.
