2019 Map of Falkland

About this map

Falkland and Fountain anchor this landscape in Pitt County, where the coastal plain is defined by a network of slow-moving waterways and historic road junctions. The boundary between Edgecombe Co and Pitt Co cuts across the northwest, passing near the settlement of Sharp Point. In the northeast, the Tar River meanders toward the coast, joined by several local tributaries including Otter Cr and Kitten Cr. The distribution of rural communities such as Dupree Crossroads, Kings Crossroads, and Cobb Town reflects a traditional agrarian settlement pattern centered around key intersections.
