About this map

Fishing Creek serves as the winding natural boundary between Halifax and Edgecombe counties, defining the character of this rural landscape. The area is marked by a complex network of wetlands and drainage basins, including Maple Swamp, Cow Haul Swamp, and Beech Swamp, which give way to small clusters of settlement at Draughn and Lawrence.

Genealogical interest is high throughout the quadrangle, with several family and community burial sites such as Bellamy Cem, Price Cem, and Bulluck Cem situated near historical road junctions. The transport patterns remain largely focused on local rural routes like Red Hill Church Rd and Coker Town Rd, reflecting an era of persistent agricultural and timber-related land use. The presence of the Hoerner Waldorf Pond further highlights the local relationship between the swampy terrain and managed water resources.
