2016 Map of Dobbersville

About this map

Dobbersville and Suttontown anchor this rural landscape where the boundaries of Wayne, Sampson, and Duplin counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of blackwater drainage systems, including the expansive Goshen Swamp and Thoroughfare Swamp, which dictate the placement of local roads and farmsteads. Low-lying features like Bear Pocosin and various branches, such as Mill Br and Panther Br, highlight the hydrologic character of the Coastal Plain. Many of the thoroughfares, including Manley Grove Church Rd and Coker Store Rd, are named for long-standing local landmarks and community institutions. This modern survey provides a detailed look at the rural road network and the way historical settlement patterns in Giddensville have adapted to the surrounding wetlands and agricultural tracts.
