About this map

The Tar River and its many meandering tributaries define the landscape southeast of Greenville in this mid-2010s survey. The area transitions from the urbanized sprawl of The Hill and the campus of E Carolina University into a complex network of wetlands and rural crossroads. The hydrology is particularly prominent, with Hardee Creek, Fork Swamp, and Cow Swamp carving through the coastal plain, while features like Rainbow Bank offer distinctive relief along the river's edge.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-represented by long-established landmarks like Greenwood Cemetery, Pinewood Cemetery, and the Old Simpson Cemetery. Smaller settlements and gathering points, including Simpson, Bell Fork, and Galloway Crossroads, are interconnected by a web of historic thoroughfares such as Old Pactolus Road and Mobleys Bridge Road. The map provides a precise view of the interface between residential expansion and the traditional rural character of Pitt County.
