About this map

The Tar River and its meandering tributaries dominate the landscape of Edgecombe County in this recent survey. Settlements like Rocky Mount and Hartsease are connected by a network of rural routes such as Walnut Creek Ln and Chrystal Way. The map provides a detailed view of several small communities including Wrendale, Brake, and Bullucks Crossroads, where the geography is defined by a dense system of wetlands and streams like Cokey Swamp and Walnut Cr.

For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several burial sites and religious centers. Notable landmarks include the Pitman Grove Church Cem and the Old Town Cem, alongside family-named locations such as the Powell Cem and Bulluck Cem. The distribution of these features reveals the enduring rural character of this North Carolina region, where development centers around historical crossroads and the persistent waterways of Buck Swamp and Swift Cr.
