2019 Map of Whitakers
USGS Topo · Published 2019About this map
White Oak Swamp and Swift Cr dominate the low-lying drainage patterns between the borderlands of Nash and Edgecombe counties. The town of Whitakers serves as a local hub along the rail corridor, with NE Railroad St Exd and SE Railroad St marking the town's industrial and transport origins. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, such as Jerusalem Cem, Carlyle Cem, and Morning Star Cem. These small cemeteries are often found near local intersections like Cherry Crossroads and Phillips Crossroads, which highlight the historical settlement pattern of the North Carolina coastal plain. Agriculture and transit remain central to the region, evidenced by the presence of Thompson Farms Airport and the numerous farm-to-market roads like Taylors Feed Mill Ln and Etheridge Farm Rd.
