About this map

Stantonsburg serves as the primary hub in this coastal plain landscape, where the town grid meets the winding course of Contentnea Creek. The map documents a rural network of agricultural roads and settlements including Lindell, Faro, and Watery Branch. The geography is defined by a complex hydrologic system of swamps and branches, with Toisnot Swamp and Goss Swamp feeding into the central creek.

Local family names and historic transit routes are reflected in labels like Saint James Church Rd, Big Daddys Rd, and Old Stantonburg Rd. To the south, the terrain transitions toward Nahunta Swamp and Appletree Swamp, illustrating how drainage patterns dictated the placement of homesteads and connector roads. This survey provides a precise look at the rural intersection of Wilson and Greene counties as they appeared in 2010.
