About this map

Princeville and Tarboro occupy a sharp bend in the Tar River, a landscape defined by the low-lying basins of Fishing Creek and Swift Creek. The settlement pattern here reflects deep-rooted residential clusters that have expanded into neighborhoods like Glenburnie, Runnymeade, and Colonial Woods. This 2010 survey illustrates the proximity of the town center to the river's edge, highlighting the geographic vulnerability and resilience of these riverside communities.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family locations through numerous named residential areas, from Cromwell Heights to Southern Terrace. Points of interest such as Hope Lodge, Dancy Memorial Cemetery, and Community Cemetery provide significant touchpoints for researching regional history. The map also documents agricultural and transport infrastructure including Weeks Pond Dam and the Tarboro-Edgecombe Airport, alongside rural outposts like Leggett and Logsboro to the north.
