About this map

The Neuse River defines the northern reaches of this landscape, just south of Kinston, where the community of Rivermont and the campus of Lenoir Community College are established. Moving south, the terrain transitions into a complex network of wetlands and creeks, characterized by the distinct Ball Pocosin and Bearwell Pocosin. These areas are drained by slow-moving water bodies like Southwest Cr and the winding Vine Swamp.

Rural intersections serve as the primary anchors for the community, with named junctions such as Loftins Crossroads, Parrott Fork, and Wise Forks marking the transition from the developed river corridor to the agricultural and timber lands of southern Lenoir County. Local history is reflected in the placement of the Southview Cem and several family-named landmarks and roads, including Elijah Loftin Rd and Dallas Turner Rd, which delineate long-standing land divisions near the Jones County line.
