2016 Map of Jasper

About this map

The Neuse River winds through the northern reaches of this Craven County landscape, where the flat coastal plains meet significant wetlands like the Great Dover Swamp. This 2016 survey illustrates a patchwork of small communities and family-named homesteads, often situated along the corridors of the Old US Hwy 70 W. Settlements such as Jasper, Tuscarora, and Hymans anchor the local geography, connected by a network of rural roads that cross numerous tributaries like Turkey Quarter Creek and Bachelor Creek. The presence of features such as NW Craven Middle School Rd and SW Craven Middle School Rd indicates the central role of educational infrastructure in this modern rural setting. The terrain is defined by its intricate hydrography, with smaller streams like Beaverdam Br and Mill Run draining the low-lying timber and agricultural lands that have long defined this portion of eastern North Carolina.
