2016 Map of Dawson Crossroads

About this map

Crowells Crossroads and Dawson Crossroads anchor this rural Halifax County landscape, where the flat coastal plain is heavily defined by extensive drainage systems and wetlands. The intricate network of Conoconnara Swamp and Beech Swamp dominates the southern and central reaches, influencing the winding path of rural routes like Thirteen Bridges Rd. This 2016 survey illustrates a persistent agrarian pattern, with family legacy sites such as Hales Cem, Westray Cem, and Pittman Cem scattered among the fields. Small-scale aviation is represented by the Dunroamin Farms Airport near the swamp's edge, while water features like Hales Millpond Br and Deep Cr further define the local topography and historical property boundaries in this eastern North Carolina region.
