2022 Map of Falkland

About this map

Falkland and the surrounding coastal plain of Pitt County are defined by a network of slow-moving waterways and historic crossroads. The Tar River cuts through the northeast corner, while smaller drainage systems like Blue Swamp, Langs Mill Run, and Kittrell Cr lace the landscape, dictating the placement of early settlements and agricultural fields. This modern survey reflects the enduring rural character of the region, where family-named intersections such as Kings Crossroads and Dupree Crossroads serve as local anchors. In the southwest, the town of Fountain is a prominent hub, connected to the nearby Crestlawn Memorial Gardens. The county line between Edgecombe Co and Pitt Co bisects the northwest, passing near the small communities of Cobb Town and Sharp Point. Local infrastructure is marked by numerous farm lanes and roads named for local families, including Anderson Chapel Rd and Tyer Farm Ln.
