About this map

The Trent River meanders through this portion of Jones County, defining a landscape shaped by its numerous tributaries and historical crossings. Small rural communities like Chinquapin and Pollocks anchor the northern reaches, while the central junction at Phillips Crossroads serves as a local navigational hub. The river is spanned by several named crossings, including Wilcox Bridge, Perry Bridge, and Free Bridge, which reflect the long-standing importance of river transit in this coastal plain environment.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named landmarks and watercourses such as Jack Cabin Br, Pocosin Br, and Cypress Creek. The mapping of small drainage features like Mill Br and Little Chinquapin Br provides insight into the local hydrology that supported early settlement and agriculture. Roads like Chinquapin Chapel Rd and Tuckahoe further illustrate the area's rural development and connectivity.
