2022 Map of Newton Grove South

About this map

Newton Grove sits at the intersection of several historic transit routes, where the landscape transitions into the intricate drainage basins of the Sampson County interior. The terrain is defined by an extensive network of wetlands, including the broad Bull Pocosin and the winding Sevenmile Swamp. These water systems, which also include Great Coharie Cr and Beaverdam Swamp, dictated the historical placement of roads and small communities like Monks Crossroads and Hobbton. The map captures the persistence of these early rural centers amidst a landscape heavily influenced by both natural waterways and modern infrastructure. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific road names and the boundaries of old settlements like Suttentown and Ruby's Landing, which remain anchored to the same creek beds and swamp margins that have defined this region for generations.
