About this map

Walstonburg and the western edge of Farmville anchor this survey of the North Carolina Coastal Plain near the intersection of the Wilson, Greene, and Pitt county lines. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and drainage systems, including Little Contentnea Cr, Thompson Swamp, and Nahunta Swamp, which influence the placement of rural settlements and agricultural boundaries. Small communities such as Fieldsboro and Castoria serve as local hubs for the surrounding farmsteads.

Local navigation and history are preserved through specific landmarks like Fools Bridge crossing Contentnea Creek and the intersection at Wootens Crossroads. The transportation network reveals a transition from traditional rural routes like Speights Bridge Rd to modern corridors. Genealogists and local historians can trace family land ties near Sunset Memorial Park or along numerous namesake roads such as Vandiford Thomas Rd and Tyson Chapel Church Rd.
