2019 Map of Cove City

About this map

Cove City serves as the central hub of this eastern North Carolina landscape, where a grid of town streets like W Sunset Blvd and S Main St meets the rural agricultural lands of Craven and Jones Counties. The geography is defined by a dense network of watercourses and wetlands, most notably the expansive Great Dover Swamp to the west. This lowland environment is threaded with numerous creeks, including Core Creek, Grape Cr, and Rollins Cr, which dictate the placement of roads and farm boundaries. The map reflects a deeply rooted local history through family-named thoroughfares such as McCoy Cemetary Rd, Cicero Riggs Rd, and John Daugherty Rd. These labels offer significant genealogical clues, tying specific families to the roads and drainages of the region near the headwaters of Musselshell Cr and Mill Br.
