2019 Map of Ringwood

About this map

The Halifax and Nash County line bisects this region of the North Carolina coastal plain, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Fishing Creek and its many tributary swamps. Small rural settlements like Ringwood, White Oak, and Glenview serve as local hubs for a network of country roads. The area is characterized by low-lying wetlands, including Jack Horse Swamp, Jacket Swamp, and Beeches Swamp, which thread through the wooded terrain. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably detailed with family-named landmarks and burial sites, from Lewis Cem and Gaskins Cem in the north to Ethridge Cem near Hickory in the south. The crossing at Culpeppers Bridge and the elevated ground of Medoc Mountain provide rare verticality in an otherwise level landscape of fields and thickets.
