2019 Map of Hobgood

About this map

Scotland Neck and Hobgood anchor this eastern North Carolina landscape, where the flat coastal plain is deeply carved by drainage systems like Cow Haul Swamp and Marsh Swamp. The area's agricultural and social history is evidenced by numerous family-named landmarks and crossroads communities such as Mullins Crossroads and Roseneath. A significant network of local roads, including Bells Bridges RD and Whites Fork RD, connects these small settlements across the Halifax and Edgecombe county line. Genealogists will find the map particularly useful for its high density of family burial sites, from the Leggett House Cem to the Staton Cem and Hardy Cem. This 2019 survey documents the enduring rural character of the region, featuring Ellis Airport and the distinct boundary where Edgecombe and Martin counties meet near Etheridge Swamp.
