About this map

Kinston serves as the focal point of this Eastern North Carolina landscape, where the Neuse River winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle. The city's civic heart is anchored by the Lenoir County Courthouse, while its periphery shows the established neighborhoods of Harveytown and Georgetown. The transition from urban center to rural farmland is marked by several named intersections, including Wootens Crossroads and Mewborns Crossroads, which reflect historical settlement patterns and family-owned lands in Lenoir County.

Transportation infrastructure is a defining characteristic, dominated by the CF Harvey Pkwy and the sprawling Kinston Regional Jetport at Stallings Field. To the east, the community of Graingers sits near the confluence of Stonyton Cr and the river, while the rail-linked Hines Junction marks the western edge of the city. Numerous small watercourses like Briery Run and Jericho Run drain the low-lying agricultural fields that surround the municipal center.
