About this map

Point Caswell and the winding course of the Black River define this section of the coastal plain in the early 21st century. The map documents a landscape where river landings and family-named bluffs serve as the primary landmarks, reflecting a deep historical connection to the waterway. Locations such as Sparkleberry Landing, Long Bluff Landing, and Blerion Landing illustrate the enduring importance of river access in this corner of North Carolina.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the quadrangle, including the Moore Cemetery, Larkins Cemetery, and Flynn Cemetery. The road network, featuring routes like Bethel Church Rd and Sykes Town Rd, cuts through a terrain marked by extensive wetlands such as Buckle Swamp Creek and Flat Bay. The presence of Red Star Camp near the river suggests the area's continued use for recreation and seasonal residency amidst the sprawling creeks and branches.
