About this map

Whiteville serves as the focal point of this Columbus County landscape, anchored by the Columbus County Courthouse and surrounded by a network of drainage systems and agricultural lands. The topography is dominated by the extensive White Marsh to the east and south, while smaller water bodies like Richardson Millpond and Soules Swamp illustrate the historically wet nature of the coastal plain.

Settlement patterns extend beyond the city limits into residential clusters such as Baldwin Woods and South Whiteville. For genealogists, several family-named burial grounds are mapped, including Cherry Grove Cem and the Ward Cem near Honey Hill. The presence of Harrelsonville Crossroads and Smith Crossing highlights the importance of traditional intersections in defining the rural community's layout outside the urban center.
