About this map

Winstead Crossroads and Cliftonville anchor this northern Wilson County landscape, where the Tar River meanders across the upper reaches of the map. The area's transition from rural crossroads to residential expansion is evident in the dense network of named subdivisions like Sherwood Forest, Newton Park, and Stoneybrook clustered near the Wilson Municipal Airport. Water management and local recreation are central to the terrain, defined by the Lake Wilson Dam and the expansive Toisnot Reservoir to the south.

Local history is preserved in the naming of river crossings such as Thompson Bridge and Cockrell Bridge, while the presence of Finch Mill and Finchs Millpond Dam in the southwest corner points to earlier industrial water use. The geography is further shaped by the extensive Toisnot Swamp and Hominy Swamp, which dictate the placement of roads and settlements throughout this North Carolina coastal plain region.
