Grifton sits at the northern edge of this coastal plain landscape, where the confluence of Contentnea Creek and the Neuse River defines the local geography. The map reveals a complex network of hydrological modifications, including the Rhem Canal, Buckleberry Canal, and Cox Canal, which reflect long-standing efforts to manage the low-lying terrain and expansive wetlands like Eagle Swamp. These drainage systems often parallel established travel routes such as British Rd and Seth West Rd, illustrating how the agricultural and settlement patterns were shaped by the water.
