About this map

Low-lying wetlands and agricultural stretches dominate this area of Sampson County north of Clinton. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with Beaverdam Swamp and Gilmore Swamp winding through the terrain, joined by smaller tributaries like Meetinghouse Br and Williams Old Mill Br. These watercourses historically dictated the placement of roads and early homesteads, many of which are reflected in the family-named corridors such as Wiggins Rd, Clara Bell Ln, and Keener Rd.

Smaller rural clusters like Keener and McCullen sit at key intersections, while the northern edge of Clinton shows the transition from town streets to rural routes. Genealogists may find interest in Sandhills Cem and the established grounds of Grandview Memorial Gardens, which serve as local landmarks alongside the crossing at Stevens Bridge. The map details the dense network of county roads that link these outlying communities through the timbered swamp fringes.
