About this map

The Tar River flows through the northern reaches of this map, passing Rainbow Banks and Barber Landing as it winds east of Greenville. In the early 1980s, the city's southeastern expansion is evident in the development of neighborhoods like Brook Valley, Sherwood Greens, and Cherry Oaks, which contrast with the rural crossroads character of the southern Pitt County landscape. Significant educational and athletic landmarks are prominent, including the sprawling campus of East Carolina University featuring Minges Coliseum, Ficklen Stadium, and Harrington Field.

Beyond the urban core, the terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems like Baldwin Swamp and Indian Well Swamp. Long-established rural communities are marked by historic meeting points such as Worthingtons Crossroads, Hollywood Crossroads, and Galloway Crossroads. The presence of numerous small cemeteries and country churches, including Red Banks Ch and New Light Ch, provides specific touchpoints for genealogical research in this coastal plain region.
