About this map

Fishing Creek winds along the southern border of this landscape, defining the tripartite boundary where Halifax, Edgecombe, and Nash counties meet. The town of Enfield serves as the central hub, showing a detailed street grid that includes the neighborhood of Sherrod Hts and various transportation arteries like SE Railroad St and SW Railroad St. This area is characterized by a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Hardee Cem, Pittman Cem, and Pope Cem, which provide significant touchstones for genealogical research in the region.

The surrounding terrain is dominated by extensive wetlands including Burnt Coat Swamp, Jacket Swamp, and Beaverdam Swamp. These hydrologic features dictate the placement of rural infrastructure, such as Bellamys Bridge over Breeches Swamp. Aviation is represented by the Enfield-Shearin Airport to the north and the Dunroamin Farms Airport to the southeast, reflecting the modern agricultural and transport character of this North Carolina coastal plain community.
