2010 Map of Sunbeam

About this map

Newsoms sits in the northwest corner of this coastal plain landscape, where the rural topography of Southampton County meets the North Carolina border. The area is defined by a network of drainage runs and creeks, most notably the meandering Meherrin River and the waters of Windbourne Millpond, which is held by the Windbourne Dam. Smaller community centers like Sunbeam, Sands, and Statesville are connected by a web of local roads such as Statesville Rd and Monroe Rd. These settlements reflect the agricultural character of the region during the early 21st century.
