About this map

Deep Run anchors the southern portion of this Lenoir County landscape, where the coastal plain is defined by the winding course of the Neuse River and its numerous tributaries. This modern survey illustrates a rural geography still organized around historic intersections and small community hubs like Blands Crossroads, Sandy Bottom, and Albrittons. The presence of Tulls Mill and Woodington suggests a long-standing settlement pattern tied to the local watercourses, specifically Southwest Creek and its various branches such as Hornpipe Br and Turkey Br.

In the north, the terrain transitions toward the city of Kinston, with neighborhoods like Jackson Heights appearing near the river's edge. The map meticulously details a dense network of local roads, many carrying family names like Frank Barwick Rd and Kennedy Home Rd, which serve as vital markers for genealogists and local historians tracing the evolution of land tracts and family homesteads between the Vernon Br and Whitelace Cr drainages.
