Grifton sits at the junction of Contentnea Creek and the Neuse River, marking a complex watery landscape where the boundaries of Pitt, Lenoir, and Craven counties converge. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage and transport, including historical engineering projects like the Rhem Canal, Alligator Canal, and Buckleberry Canal. These man-made waterways, alongside natural features like Eagle Swamp and Grinnel Slough, reflect the long-standing effort to manage the low-lying wetlands of eastern North Carolina.
