2010 Map of Wilson

About this map

The city of Wilson serves as the focal point for this eastern North Carolina landscape, where urban neighborhoods like Cavalier Park, Whitfield Homes, and Belle Meade transition into the surrounding agricultural and swamp lands. The area is defined by its complex hydrology, with the winding Contentnea Creek and Hominy Swamp cutting through the terrain. Civil infrastructure is prominently featured, including the Wiggins Mill Dam on the Wiggins Millpond and the Toisnot Reservoir to the northeast. Notable community landmarks such as the Wilson County Speedway and the Wilson Post Office are recorded alongside historic grounds like Maplewood Cemetery and Rest Haven Cemetery. This survey documents the intersection of suburban growth and traditional water-driven geography, evidenced by the numerous named residential subdivisions and the persistent wetlands that border the community's expansion.
