About this map

East Carolina University and the southeastern residential expansion of the city anchor this 2013 survey of the coastal plain. The landscape is defined by the Tar River as it meanders past a series of historical river access points including Barber Landing, Cherry Landing, and Dixon Landing. The presence of the Port Terminal and the Port Terminal Rd infrastructure illustrates the ongoing industrial and commercial importance of the river to the local economy.

Away from the urban center, the map reveals a transition into agricultural and institutional land uses, most notably the Pitt County Poor Farm and the Pitt County Poor Farms located near Hardee Cr. The area is densely subdivided into numerous named residential developments like Speight, Brook Valley, and Englewood, which contrast with the natural drainages of Fork Swamp and Cow Swamp to the south.
