About this map

Farmville serves as the central hub of this Eastern North Carolina landscape, where the town's residential expansion is evident through developments like Birchwood and Pine Grove Apartments. The surrounding Pitt County countryside is defined by a intricate network of drainage, primarily the winding Little Contentnea Creek and its many tributaries including Olduoman Branch and Pinelog Branch. These waterways historically dictated the placement of early settlements and road crossings, many of which remain visible as established communities.

Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed plotting of Forest Hills Cemetery and Hollywood Cemetery near the town center. The map also records rural landmarks such as the Bellarthur Post Office and the Pleasant Mount Post Office, which hint at the logistical history of smaller hamlets like Ballards Crossroad and Lizzie. From the aviation footprint of Crafts Airport to the recreational space at Contentnea Campground, the map illustrates a transition from traditional agricultural land use toward modern residential and service infrastructure.
