About this map

Bentonville Battleground (State Historic Site) stands as the focal point of this region, preserving the site of the largest Civil War battle fought in North Carolina. The landscape is defined by the convergence of Johnston, Sampson, and Wayne counties, where the rural character is maintained through a dense network of country churches such as Antioch Ch, Pauline Ch, and Westbrook Grove Ch. The terrain is drained by Mill Creek and Hannah Creek, with numerous small cemeteries scattered across the family farms that have long anchored this community.

Evidence of local industry and infrastructure appears in several forms, from the Sandpit near the western border to the modern Pipeline corridor and Microwave Radio Tower. The map captures the small-town center of Newton Grove at the southwestern corner and the historically significant hamlet of Bentonville, while the Tuscarora Scout Reservation occupies a wooded tract in the northeast. This cartographic study illustrates a landscape where 19th-century history and 20th-century agriculture remain deeply intertwined.
