About this map

Dobbersville serves as the focal point of this agricultural and wetland landscape at the junction of Wayne, Sampson, and Duplin counties. The terrain is defined by an extensive network of blackwater drainage, where Thoroughfare Swamp and Goshen Swamp dominate the low-lying areas. These hydrologic features, alongside smaller tributaries like Railer Br and Youngs Swamp, have historically dictated the placement of settlements and transport corridors in this part of North Carolina.

Rural crossroads such as Suttontown and Giddensville are connected by a web of family-named thoroughfares, including Kermit Warren Rd and Odom Mill Rd. The map also details the distinct ecological pocket of Bear Pocosin in the south. This survey provides genealogists and local historians with a clear view of the modern road network superimposed over long-established wetland boundaries and small-town centers.
