About this map

Hebron and Rome center this agricultural landscape in Jefferson County, where the winding Bark River and Scuppernong River dictate the local geography. The area is characterized by a high density of rural burial grounds, including Hebron Cem, Cushman Cem, and Saint Luke's Cem, which offer significant data for genealogists tracing local families. The settlement pattern remains largely tied to the river systems, with Slabtown situated near Slabtown Pond and the larger village of Palmyra visible at the southeastern edge.

Transportation is defined by a network of county roads like Co RD P and Co RD D that connect the scattered farmsteads. The presence of several small impoundments such as Rome Pond and Cushman Pond suggests a history of water management for local mills or recreation. This survey captures the enduring rural character of the region, where wetlands along Steel Brook and Mud Cr separate the established town centers.
