About this map

Draughn and the surrounding coastal plain of Edgecombe County are defined by a sophisticated network of slow-moving water and agricultural lands. The landscape is heavily influenced by the meandering Fishing Cr, which forms a natural boundary to the north, and a series of expansive wetlands including Maple Swamp, Cow Haul Swamp, and Moore Swamp. These swamp systems interlock with the local road network, where family-named routes like Douglas Hill Farm Rd and Draughon Farm Ln reflect a long-standing rural heritage.

Industrial and community landmarks are scattered throughout this low-lying area, most notably Hoerner Waldorf Pond and several historically significant corridors. Roads such as Red Hill Church Rd, Bethlehem Church Rd, and Coker Town Rd trace the paths between farmsteads and old meeting points. The map provides a detailed look at the drainage patterns and rural infrastructure that have sustained this community into the 21st century.
