2018 Map of Myrick

About this map

The settlement of Myrick sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the headwaters of Little Mill Cr and Bull Br carve into the Jones County countryside. Much of the area's local history is anchored by its community burial grounds, including the Myrick Cem, Mill Creek Cem, and the family-named Dennis Blackledge Cem and Sellers Cem. Smaller clusters like Lightsey, Pineview, and Mill Creek are connected by a network of rural routes, including Huey Shed Rd and Poole Creek Rd. Water defines the northern reaches, where Little Bogue Homo and Rolling Hills Ranch Lake provide drainage near the Jones County and Wayne County line. The terrain is marked by numerous small branches such as Brake Br and Jenkins Br, suggesting a well-watered timber or agricultural district.
