2013 Map of Clinton North

About this map

Clinton anchors the southern portion of this landscape, where the urban street grid meets the winding hydrological networks of Sampson County. The area is defined by a series of significant watercourses and wetlands, including the expansive Beaverdam Swamp and the meandering Great Coharie Cr. These natural drainages dictated the historical placement of crossings like Stevens Bridge and New Bridge, as well as the siting of early industrial points such as Williams Old Mill Br. Beyond the town center, smaller settlements like Keener, McCullen, and Basstown mark the rural intersections that have long supported the county's agricultural character. The map reveals how the modern road network, including routes like Ponderosa Ln and Hargrove Rd, follows the higher ground between swampy lowlands like Gilmore Swamp and Hoe Swamp, illustrating the persistent influence of the coastal plain's hydrology on local development.
