About this map

The town of Whiteville serves as the central hub of this Columbus County landscape, surrounded by a ring of residential developments including Sunset Terrace, Runnymeade, and Fairfax Heights. The geography is defined by a low-lying network of water bodies, most notably the wide White Marsh which drains the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Significant infrastructure is evident south of the town center, where the Columbus County Municipal Airport and State Prison Camp Number 602 are located near the headwaters of Camp Branch.

Genealogists and local historians can find several family-named locations and burial sites, such as Flynn Cemetery, Faison Cemetery, and Smith Cemetery. The transition from the developed core to the outlying agricultural and marshy areas is marked by distinct settlements like Brunswick and Harrelsonville Crossroads. The presence of the Whiteville Post Office and Brunswick Post Office underscores the importance of these nodes for regional mail and commerce during the early 21st century.
