1982 Map of Snow Hill

About this map

Contentnea Creek winds through the heart of Greene County, serving as the primary geographical anchor for the town of Snow Hill. During the early 1980s, this area retained its rural character, defined by a network of drainage basins including Tyson Marsh, Beargarden, and the Pocosin. The landscape is dotted with small agricultural hubs and family-named localities like Arba, Bests, and Crews. Local history is deeply embedded in the numerous rural sanctuaries such as McCoy Chapel, Branch Grove Ch, and Jerusalem Ch. The presence of the Turnage Millpond on Tyson Creek suggests a legacy of local water-powered industry, while the Lenoir Community Col indicates the town's role as a regional educational center. Transport and infrastructure are represented by the Armory in town and a scattered network of roads connecting crossroads like Browntown Crossroads.
