About this map

The town of Bethel and the neighboring settlement of Parmele anchor this map of the Coastal Plain, where the boundaries of Pitt, Martin, and Edgecombe counties converge. The landscape is defined by its intricate drainage network, featuring watercourses like Grindle Cr, Suggs Br, and the wide reaches of Ross Swamp. These waterways historically shaped the development and agricultural layout of the region, visible here in the dispersed rural settlements and the orientation of longstanding roads such as Dixon Rd and Ralston Rd.

In the eastern portion of the map, Robersonville appears as a significant local hub, with its grid-like street pattern including W Academy St and N Broad St. The smaller communities of Whitehurst and Oakley illustrate the persistent rural character of the area, while features like Briery Swamp and Tranters Cr highlight the low-lying, wetlands-dominated terrain that characterizes this part of North Carolina.
