About this map

Cove City sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned along a historical transportation corridor between New Bern and Kinston. The town layout is defined by a grid of streets including W Sunset Blvd and Brown Ave, transitioning abruptly into a rural environment dominated by large-scale agricultural blocks and extensive wetlands. To the south, the massive Great Dover Swamp provides a distinctive natural boundary, while the county line between Craven Co and Jones Co runs through the marshy lowlands of Musselshell Cr.

Family heritage is deeply etched into the local geography through numerous named thoroughfares such as McCoy Cemetary Rd, Cicero Riggs Rd, and Koonce Town Rd. These labels suggest long-standing land ownership patterns in the coastal plain. The drainage network, featuring Core Creek and Grape Cr, reveals the intricate hydrology required to manage the surrounding swampy terrain for both forestry and farming.
