2020 Map of Tarboro

About this map

Tarboro serves as the focal point of this coastal plain landscape, situated at a junction of roads including Burnt Fort Rd and Robinson Hill Rd. The surrounding terrain is defined by an extensive network of wetlands and watercourses, most notably the White Oak Swamp and Tower Swamp, which drain into White Oak Cr. The map reveals a transition from these low-lying swampy areas to the higher ground marked by Kings Bay in the northwest. Local family history is rooted in the presence of several named cemeteries, including Victory Cem and Harrell Cem, situated along historic routes like Old Post Rd. These features, alongside many family-named roads such as Boysie Walker Rd and Sadie Jackson Rd, suggest a landscape deeply tied to long-standing local residents and rural agricultural traditions in this section of Camden County.
