USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The town of Whitakers sits at the intersection of county lines and regional transport, straddling the border of Nash and Edgecombe counties. The Atlantic Coast Line railroad dictates the town's linear development, running north-south alongside numerous family-named landmarks and rural congregations. The landscape is defined by the broad, wooded wetlands of Fishing Creek and the meandering path of Swift Creek, which historically influenced the placement of agricultural crossroads like Taylor Crossroads and Cherry Crossroads.
