About this map

Newton Grove anchors the northern edge of this coastal plain landscape, where a dense network of blackwater drainages dictates the layout of local roads and farmsteads. The terrain is defined by sprawling wetlands and low-lying woods, including Bull Pocosin and the expansive Goshen Swamp. These water systems converge toward Great Coharie Creek and Six Runs Creek, with historic crossings such as Barksdale Bridge and Dameron Bridge providing essential connectivity.

Rural life in Sampson County is represented by small crossroads communities like Monks Crossroads, Suttontown, and Hobbton. The naming conventions of the region's thoroughfares, such as Kornegay Town Rd and Preacher Henry Rd, reflect a deep-rooted genealogical history tied to specific families and local figures. The map illustrates how modern transit corridors have been superimposed over this traditional agricultural and swamp-bordering settlement pattern.
