2016 Map of Snow Hill

About this map

Contentnea Creek winds through the heart of Greene County, anchoring the settlement of Snow Hill and defining the agricultural character of this coastal plain landscape. The geography is characterized by low-lying wetlands and sluggish watercourses such as Tyson Marsh and the distinctive Beargarden Pocosin. Smaller crossroads and communities like Arba, Glenfield, and Browntown Crossroads are linked by a network of rural roads that often bear the names of local families, including Ginn Farm Rd and Joshua Mewborn Rd. To the west, the Turnage Millpond suggests earlier industrial water use, while the Snow Hill Cem remains a central point of local heritage. The map details a transition toward the Lenoir County line, following the natural drainage of Falling Cr and Rainbow Cr through a mosaic of farm plots and riparian corridors.
