Greene County elevation and terrain tools
Coastal Plain • County seat: Snow Hill
Greene County is flat inner coastal plain drained by Contentnea Creek, which winds past Snow Hill in a broad swampy bottom on its way to the Neuse. The level fields between the creeks lie only a little above the swamps.
