2022 Map of Faison

About this map

Faison sits at the northern edge of this coastal plain landscape, where a dense network of agricultural roads and drainage systems defines the local economy. The terrain is characterized by expansive wetlands and pocosin environments, most notably Bear Pocosin and the headwaters of numerous watercourses including Tenmile Swamp, Mill Swamp, and Bear Swamp. These features, along with Gilmore Swamp and Beaverdam Swamp, illustrate the complex hydrology that residents have navigated for generations.
