About this map

The Trent River meanders through this landscape, serving as the primary geographic axis for the settlements of Trenton and Pollocksville. A dense network of river landings defines the local economy and history, including family-named sites like Foscue Landing, Murrill Landing, and Olivers Landing. These points of access, along with Horse Landing and White Bank Landing, reflect a long-standing reliance on the waterway for transportation and commerce in Jones County.

Away from the riverbanks, the terrain is shaped by numerous tributaries such as Musselshell Creek and Jumping Creek. Notable landmarks like Quaker Bridge and the Brock Pond reservoir near the Trenton town center indicate historical infrastructure. The presence of Olivers Crossroads and various rural connectors like Wyse Fork Rd and 10 Mile Fork Rd trace the path of overland travel through the coastal plain at the start of the 21st century.
