About this map

The Tar River meanders through the heart of this Edgecombe County landscape, defining the rural character of the region. Small agricultural settlements and community hubs like Hartsease, Wrendale, and Brake are connected by a network of local roads such as Battleboro-Leggett Rd and New Hope Church Rd. The importance of family and faith in the local history is visible through scattered burial grounds, including the Pitman Grove Church Cem and Old Town Cem.

Hydrology dominates the southern reaches, where Cokey Swamp and Gokey Swamp converge near Bullucks Crossroads. The presence of Nobles Millpond and several smaller tributaries like Falling Run and Walnut Cr highlights a landscape historically shaped by water management and milling. Transport infrastructure is represented by the Dunbar Bridge and the modern corridor of U.S. Highway 64, which bisects the quadrangle near the communities of Penelo and Kungsboro.
