2019 Map of Falling Creek

About this map

Kinston sits at the southern edge of this landscape, where the Neuse River bends near the mouth of Falling Creek. The map documents a transition from the urban periphery to the agricultural reaches of the Greene and Lenoir county line. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of low-lying wetlands and runs, including Jumping Run, White Marsh Run, and Wheat Swamp, which weave between family-named roads and scattered settlements. To the north and west, smaller communities such as Institute, Dawson, and Fields are connected by a web of rural routes like Haywood Hill Rd and Grays Mill Rd. Near the city, significant local landmarks are detailed, including Pinelawn Cem, Temple Israel Cem, and Westview Cem, providing a precise look at the memorial and geographic layout of the area as it stood in the late 2010s.
