About this map

Mingo serves as the central hub of this Sampson County landscape, where the agrarian traditions of coastal North Carolina meet an intricate network of wetlands. The geography is defined by the slow-moving waters of Mingo Swamp and Williamson Swamp, which carve through the terrain and support landmarks like Tart Millpond and Williams Lake. This modern survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, anchored by established community sites such as Mingo Church and several family burial grounds, including Naylor Cem and Jackson Cem.

To the north, the settlement of Plain View sits near the tri-county junction of Harnett, Cumberland, and Sampson. The map records a transition from traditional farms to modern infrastructure, seen in the presence of Charles Field and the naming of local routes like Eugene Jernigan Rd and Aman Dairy Rd. These labels offer a detailed look at contemporary land ownership and the continued importance of the drainage basins like Beaverdam Swamp and Little Coharie Cr in shaping local life.
