2013 Map of Jason

About this map

Cokers Crossroads and the surrounding coastal plain of eastern North Carolina define this landscape of small agricultural settlements and intricate drainage systems. The area is characterized by a series of watersheds, notably the Bear Creek W/S Lake Number Six and several other numbered reservoirs such as Lake Number Eleven, which manage the local water table. These basins feed into various prongs and runs, including the Long Shoal River and the meandering Nahunta Swamp to the north. Distinctive local names like Peanut Crossroads and Shines Crossroads highlight the region's intersectional rural hubs. The road network connects small communities like Parkstown and Jason, following the natural contours between creek branches and swampy lowlands such as The Slough.
