2016 Map of Gardnerville

About this map

Swift Creek and its complex of surrounding wetlands define the low-lying geography of this North Carolina landscape near the Pitt and Craven county line. The map reveals a dense network of rural crossroads and family settlements, such as Haddocks Crossroads, Helens Crossroads, and Stokestown, connected by local routes like Emma Cannon Rd and Gardnerville Rd. The terrain is marked by numerous swampy drainages including Clayroot Swamp, Indian Well Swamp, and Fork Swamp, illustrating the hydrological challenges and the drainage engineering of the Shiloh Canal. This 2016 survey documents the enduring agricultural and residential patterns of the region, from the South Oaks Aerodrome in the north down to Clayroot and Gardnerville in the south, preserving the names of local landmarks like Shelmerdine and Venters that anchor this coastal plain community.
