About this map

Enfield serves as the focal point of this coastal plain landscape, where the confluence of three North Carolina counties — Halifax, Nash, and Edgecombe — meets near the winding course of Fishing Creek. The town's grid, including Sherrod Hts, is defined by its relationship to the rail corridor and the surrounding wetlands that dominate the geography.

Extensive swamp systems like Burnt Coat Swamp, Beaverdam Swamp, and Jacket Swamp create a complex hydrologic network between agricultural plots. For genealogists and local historians, several family-named burial sites are recorded, such as Pittman Cem, Bryant Cem, and the uniquely named Old Bricks Cem. Transportation infrastructure is prominently featured, from the Enfield-Shearin Airport to numerous named rural routes like Heathville Rd and Daniels Bridge Rd, illustrating the modern connectivity of this long-settled region.
