About this map

Sharpsburg and Elm City anchor this eastern North Carolina landscape, where the municipal boundaries of Nash, Wilson, and Edgecombe Counties converge. The 2016 survey shows a region defined by a network of rural crossroads and agricultural hamlets, including Cobbs Crossroad and Penders Crossroads. Drainage patterns across the coastal plain are clearly marked by the meandering Cattail Swamp and White Swamp, alongside named tributaries like Cattail Br and Williamson Br.

Local history and genealogy are preserved through the identification of several residential landmarks and family-named roads. Notable sites include the Cedar Grove Cem situated within the Elm City limits, and smaller settlements such as Rosebud, Town Creek, and Bridgersville. The map also details local water bodies like Putneys Lake and Adams Pond, providing a comprehensive view of the local topography and the enduring rural structure of this Wilson County area.
