About this map

The Neuse River winds along the southern edge of Kinston, serving as a central geographic anchor for this urban and agricultural landscape in Lenoir County. The city's residential and commercial core is flanked by established neighborhoods like Harveytown and Georgetown, while the historic Maplewood Cem provides a focal point for genealogical research within the city limits. To the north, the landscape opens into a pattern of rural communities and family-named landmarks, including Wootens Crossroads and Mewborns Crossroads.

Infrastructure is dominated by the Kinston Regional Jetport at Stallings Field, which occupies a significant portion of the northern quadrangle. Smaller watercourses like Briery Run and Stonyton Cr drain the surrounding farmlands toward the river. Historically significant junctions such as Hines Junction and the small settlement of Graingers reflect the long-standing transport and settlement patterns of this coastal plain region.
