2010 Map of Edward

About this map

Coxs Crossroads and Edward anchor this rural landscape in Beaufort County, where a network of family-named roads and drainage systems defines the coastal plain. The territory is deeply etched by slow-moving water, including the intricate path of Herring Run in the north and the broad reaches of Tunstall Swamp and Durham Creek to the south. Local commerce and transit are represented by small hubs like Jones Store and the settlement of Egypt, connected by a grid of routes such as Little Egypt Rd and Tuten Rd. Near the eastern edge, Stilley sits along Stilley Station Rd, indicating the area's historical reliance on transportation corridors. Genealogists can trace property boundaries and familial footprints through numerous named roads like Swindell Rd and Cuthrell Rd, which link established communities like Cayton and Blounts Creek across the low-lying terrain.
