About this map

Draughn centers this portion of Edgecombe County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Fishing Creek and several extensive wetland systems. The rural character of the area is evident in the numerous family-named landmarks and historical sites, including the Bellamy Cemetery, Price Cemetery, and King Cemetery. These sites, often situated near minor road junctions, provide a focal point for genealogical research in this part of North Carolina.

Industrial and agricultural water management is visible through features like the Hoerner Waldorf Pond and the Hoerners Waldorf Pond Dam. The terrain is characterized by large, named lowlands such as Maple Swamp, Moore Swamp, and White Oak Swamp, which dictate the placement of local routes like Red Hill Church Rd and Bethlehem Church Rd. The map illustrates a community shaped by its waterways and longstanding land tracts.
