2022 Map of Phillips Crossroads

About this map

Phillips Crossroads anchors this agricultural and wetland landscape in Jones County, where the Trent River meanders through a low-lying region defined by its numerous branches and creeks. The coastal plain topography is most distinct in the south, where the expansive White Oak Pocosin dominates the terrain, illustrating the unique swampy shrub-land ecosystems characteristic of eastern North Carolina. Small rural clusters like Comfort and Pollocks are connected by a network of local roads such as Old Kinston-Trenton Rd and Stones Chapel Rd, reflecting a settlement pattern tied to long-standing family landholdings and crossroads commerce. Aviation interest is noted at Suter Field, while the hydrology is remarkably dense, featuring named watercourses like Chinquapin Br, Deep Bottom Br, and Beaver Cr that feed into the primary river system.
