2013 Map of Faison

About this map

The town of Faison serves as the primary hub of this eastern North Carolina landscape, where early 21st-century agricultural patterns intersect with a complex network of wetlands and creeks. The terrain is defined by its low-lying drainage systems, including the expansive Tenmile Swamp and Mill Swamp, which feed into Six Runs Cr. Local industry and land use are evidenced by the Carolina Fish Hatchery and the Bowden Millpond, reflecting a continued reliance on the area's water resources. Smaller rural nodes like Poplar Grove, Hatcher, and Hargrove Crossroads are connected by family-named routes such as Carroll A Britt Rd and Giddensville Rd, illustrating the persistent community structure of the coastal plain. The map reveals a transition from traditional swamp-heavy forestry to localized developments near Lake Artesia.
