2016 Map of Walstonburg

About this map

Walstonburg and the surrounding coastal plain of Greene and Pitt Counties are defined by a complex network of wetlands and small agricultural communities. This landscape is dominated by extensive drainage systems including Little Contentnea Cr and numerous named pocosin-like features such as Thompson Swamp and Lighter Knot Swamp. The settlement pattern follows the higher ground between these wetlands, connecting established crossroads like Fieldsboro and Castoria. The eastern edge of the map shows the growth of Farmville near the Pitt County line, where Sunset Memorial Park is situated. Transportation is anchored by local routes such as Beaman Old Creek Rd and School House Rd, which trace the historical rural infrastructure of the region. Distinctive local landmarks like Fools Bridge over Contentnea Creek highlight the intersection of early river crossings and modern road networks in this agrarian territory.
