2013 Map of Kittrell

About this map

The settlement of Kittrell serves as a central hub in this portion of Vance County, defined by its intersection of major roads and the north-south rail line crossing the Railroad Bridge. To the east lies Bobbitt, another established point of community activity. The landscape is heavily dissected by a dense network of watercourses, including the Tar River, Tabbs Cr, and Buffalo Cr, which carve through the terrain and influence the local road patterns. The presence of Kittrell College Rd points to the area's educational history, while the Deer Run Airport provides a modern aviation footprint amidst the traditional rural landscape. This survey documents the transition between small-town North Carolina centers and the surrounding agricultural and creek-fed lands during the early 21st century.
