About this map

Pink Hill serves as the primary hub in this coastal plain landscape where Lenoir, Duplin, and Jones counties meet. The geography is defined by a network of slow-moving water and expansive wetlands, including the Trent River and the braided reaches of Tuckahoe Swamp and Beaverdam Swamp. The 2016 survey illustrates a persistent rural structure where small settlements and agricultural junctions like Nobles Crossroads, Irvings Crossroads, and Jonestown anchor the surrounding farmsteads.

Local history is preserved in the naming of geographic features after established families, seen in landmarks such as Nobles Millpond and Lawsons Mill. Infrastructure for the local community is evident in the inclusion of the Pink Hill Airport and a dense network of country roads like Rex Nobles Rd and Jessie Howard Rd, which provide access to the timber and agricultural lands between the many creeks and branches.
