About this map

The town of Fountain and its surrounding Pitt County farmsteads are documented in this 2010 survey, which highlights a landscape defined by the winding Little Contentnea Creek and its many tributaries. The area maintains a rural, agricultural character, with smaller settlements like Webbs, Turnage, and Toddy connected by a network of state routes and county roads. Near the center of Fountain, the Fountain Post Office and Memorial Cemetery serve as local landmarks for genealogists and town residents.

The hydrography of the region is notably intricate, with drainage systems such as Whiteoak Swamp, Goss Swamp, and Otter Creek flowing through the low-lying terrain. Features like the Strickland Pond Dam and waterways such as Langs Mill Run and Bynums Mill Run indicate a historical reliance on these water sources for both industry and land management. This map provides a clear record of property access and rural infrastructure at the start of the 21st century.
