About this map

Contentnea Creek winds through this coastal plain landscape, serving as a central geographical feature for the established communities of Hookerton, Maury, and Ormondsville. The area is characterized by its agricultural heritage and natural wetlands, including the expansive Rices Pocosin and Half Moon Pocosin. These pocosins, along with several named swamps like Wheat Swamp and Eagle Swamp, define the local drainage patterns and have historically influenced the placement of farms and roads.

Genealogical interest is found in local landmarks like Rainbow Cem and numerous family-named routes such as Bobby Edwards Rd and Carson Edwards Rd. The map illustrates the persistence of small settlements such as Hugo and Glenfield Crossroads, providing a clear look at the rural infrastructure of Greene County. The intersection at Fourway and the open spaces of Chase Field further highlight the intersection of community life and the working landscape in this portion of North Carolina.
