2019 Map of Timothy

About this map

Spivey's Corner and Newton Grove anchor this portion of Sampson County, where a network of rural crossroads and family-named landmarks defines the landscape. The geography is characterized by intricate drainage systems like Sevenmile Swamp, Little Coharie Cr, and Merkle Swamp, which wind through the agricultural tracts. These waterways historically supported local industry, evidenced by features such as Blackmans Mills and the Warren Millpond near the southern boundary. Small family settlements and intersections remain vital community identifiers, including Timothy, Vann Crossroads, and Rosin Hill. Researchers can trace local lineage through sites such as Little Field Cem and Oak Grove Cem, while the placement of Daughtry Bridge across the Great Coharie Cr highlights the enduring importance of river crossings in this coastal plain region.
