2019 Map of Whiteville

About this map

Whiteville serves as the central hub of this Columbus County landscape, where the urban grid meets the extensive lowlands of the Coastal Plain. The drainage patterns of Soules Swamp and White Marsh dictate the regional development, as seen in the clustered communities of South Whiteville and Brunswick. To the south, Richardson Millpond and several drainage branches like Camp Br and Mill Br suggest a history of water management and local industry integrated into the marshy terrain. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, documenting several dispersed family and community burial grounds including Whiteville Cem, Flynn Cem, and Faison Cem. Rural outposts such as Harrelsonville Crossroads and Honey Hill show how settlement has moved along the primary corridors leading away from the county seat toward the surrounding swamps and timberlands.
