The Tar River winds through this coastal plain landscape northwest of Greenville, defining a terrain marked by extensive wetlands and historic crossroads settlements. This 2022 survey captures the transitional zone between the expanding urban reach of the city and the rural heritage of Pitt County. To the north, the Great Swamp and Grindle Pocosin dominate the drainage basin of Conetoe Creek, while smaller communities like Belvoir, Bells Crossroads, and Hollands maintain their identity along the secondary road network. The map reveals modern land use patterns, from the Pitt-Greenville Airport and suburban developments near Rock Spring to the winding watercourses of Johnsons Mill Run and Harris Mill Run. This document provides a clear record of how contemporary infrastructure, including NC 43 N, interacts with the natural floodplain features of the river valley.
