About this map

The Tar River defines the eastern edge of this agricultural landscape in Pitt County, where generations of family farming have shaped the local geography. Distinctive rural communities such as Falkland, Cobb Town, and Sharp Point are connected by a network of roads that frequently bear the names of local families, including Stallings Rd and Buck Moore Rd. The map reveals a land heavily influenced by its hydrology, with numerous small waterways like Kitten Cr, Tyson Cr, and Oldwoman Branch carving through the terrain.

Local landmarks such as Dupree Landing and Langs Mill Run hint at earlier eras of river-based commerce and milling. The presence of several named crossroads, including Kings Crossroads and Dupree Crossroads, underscores the historically decentralized settlement pattern common to this part of the Coastal Plain. Smaller locales like California and Tucker Farms further emphasize the area's deep-rooted agrarian identity.
