About this map

The Tar River and Stony Creek converge in this 2016 survey, defining the industrial and civic layout of Rocky Mount. The city's growth is reflected in its established residential and institutional zones, including the Nash Community Coll and significant burial grounds such as Pineview Cem, Unity Cem, and Northeastern Cem. The boundary between Nash and Edgecombe counties bisects the urban core, illustrating how the community spans two jurisdictions along the rail and river corridors.

To the south and west, smaller nodes like South Rocky Mount, Sharpsburg, and Easonburg are linked by a dense network of transit routes including English Rd and Hunter Hill Rd. Local landmarks such as Williford Bridge and Lemons Bridge mark critical crossing points over the waterways. The landscape transitions from the urban density of the center to the outlying reaches of Little Cokey Swamp and Cokey Swamp, where the terrain remains more alluvial and low-lying.
