2010 Map of Princeton

About this map

Princeton serves as the primary hub of this eastern Johnston County landscape, situated near the confluence of several local waterways including Little River and Moccasin Creek. The settlement pattern follows a dense network of rural roads such as Old Cornwallis Rd and Gurleys Mill Rd, connecting outlying communities like Delwood, Brogden, and Raynor Town. The southern portion of the sheet is defined by the winding course of the Neuse River and the swampy lowlands of The Cowbone, while the industrial and civic center of the region is anchored by the Princeton Post Office and local landmarks like the Holts Mill Pond Dam. This survey documents a transition from established town centers to the surrounding agricultural and timber lands, marked by family-named sites such as Thompson Cemetery and Overby Cemetery, which offer valuable points of reference for genealogical research and local historical study.
