About this map

The Tar River snakes across this landscape, defining the topography near settlements such as Wrendale and Hartsease. This region in Edgecombe County is marked by a network of significant wetlands and drainage systems, including Buck Swamp, Cokey Swamp, and the expansive Nobles Millpond. These water features historically influenced the placement of rural communities and agricultural boundaries.

Genealogists can find several family and community landmarks, such as Pitman Grove Church Cem and the Old Town Cem. Smaller crossings and crossroads like Bullucks Crossroads and Penelo highlight the local transportation patterns that connect these interior North Carolina townships. The map also records numerous smaller tributaries like Walnut Cr and Little Cokey Swamp, which feed into the primary river system.
