The town of Faison serves as a focal point for this landscape along the border of Sampson and Duplin Counties. The region is defined by a dense network of water systems, including Tenmile Swamp, Mill Swamp, and Gilmore Swamp, which feed into larger arteries like Six Runs Cr. The presence of several country churches, such as Poplar Grove Ch, Beulah Ch, and Six Runs Ch, indicates a dispersed but established agricultural community. Transportation infrastructure is well-defined, showing the intersection of local routes at Hargrove Crossroads and the transit corridor of the CSX railroad through the heart of town. Local topography is further marked by Bear Pocosin to the north and leisure or industrial sites like Lake Artesia and Bowden Millpond to the east, reflecting a landscape that balances natural wetlands with rural development.
