1993 Map of Tarboro

About this map

Tarboro lies at the heart of this low-lying coastal plain landscape, where the geography is defined by a dense network of wetlands and tidal drainage. The White Oak Swamp and White Oak Creek dominate the southeastern quadrant, while Waverly Creek and various unnamed swamps snake through the pine-laden terrain. This 1990s revision reveals the enduring rural character of Camden County, where an Old Railroad Grade and a small Landing Strip indicate past and present transit corridors through the marshy interior. Local history is anchored by sites such as the Harrell Cem and another Cem near Tarboro, alongside landmarks like a Lookout Tower and multiple Flowing Wells. The boundary between Brantley and Camden counties follows the path of Line Branch, reflecting how natural watercourses dictate political lines in this water-rich environment.
