About this map

Greene and Wayne counties meet along the winding courses of Nahunta Swamp and Cow Swamp in this 1982 survey. The landscape is defined by its agrarian intersections and rural spiritual centers, with numerous named crossroads like Cokers Crossroads, Peanut Crossroads, and Jason Corner serving as local anchors. These small settlements are often centered around country churches and cemeteries, such as Lovicks Chapel, Mewborn Ch, and Davis Grove Ch.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with a complex network of branches like Buzzard Branch, Button Branch, and Lacks Fork draining into larger systems like Tyson Marsh. The mapping also records small-scale industry and infrastructure, including a Sandpit near the western boundary and a Pumping Sta near the community of Shine. This map offers a clear look at the eastern North Carolina coastal plain before significant modern development altered these traditional family and community landmarks.
