2022 Map of Timothy

About this map

Spivey's Corner and Newton Grove anchor this section of Sampson County, characterized by a dense network of country roads connecting historic crossroads settlements. The landscape is defined by the slow drainage of the Great Coharie Creek and its many tributaries, including the Sevenmile Swamp and Old Mill Swamp. These water systems influenced the early economic life of the region, evidenced by landmarks such as Blackmans Mills and the Warren Millpond. Local family histories are etched into the map through features like McLamb Crossroads, Vann Crossroads, and the Rosin Hill area. Small community burying grounds, including Oak Grove Cem and Little Field Cem, are situated near historic road junctions like those at Timothy. This survey illustrates the persistent rural structure of the North Carolina coastal plain, where geographic identity remains centered on these named intersections and agricultural hamlets.
