2013 Map of Edward

About this map

Coxs Crossroads sits at the northern intersection of this coastal plain landscape, where agricultural fields are divided by a complex network of wetlands and small tributaries. The drainage patterns of Blounts Creek and Little Swift Creek define the low-lying terrain, characterized by features like Poundpole Swamp Branch and Bushy Fork. Moving south, the settlement of Egypt and the landmark at Jones Store provide evidence of the local rural economy and social hubs centered around crossroad junctions. The map documents a landscape transitioning from the more densely settled northern section near Stilley toward the drainage basins of Durham Creek and Upper Broad Creek. This documentation of Beaufort County topography shows how road names like Stilley Town Road and Labor Camp Road preserve the history of community labor and family lineages in the region.
