About this map

Harrells and its surrounding rural landscapes in Sampson County are defined by a network of creeks and numerous family cemeteries that dot the countryside. The central hub at the Harrells Post Office serves as a primary reference point for the region, where the terrain shifts toward the wetlands of Bear Bay and the winding course of the Black River. This coastal plain environment is intricately mapped with many small tributaries like Pharisee Creek, Bulltail Creek, and Wildcat Creek feeding the larger river system.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by a high concentration of burial sites, including the Iron Mine Burial Park, Royal Chapel Cemetery, and Newkirk Cemetery near Newkirks Bridge. These landmarks, along with settlements like Newtons Crossroads and Ezzelltown, provide a detailed picture of the community structure and land use patterns. The road network, from Wells Chapel Church Rd to Lizzie Henry Rd, connects these scattered homesteads and local landmarks across the flat, well-watered timber and agricultural lands.
