Northampton County elevation and terrain tools
Coastal Plain • County seat: Jackson
Northampton County lies between the Roanoke River on its south, backed up as Lake Gaston and Roanoke Rapids Lake at its western end, and the Meherrin River on its northeast. Its western corner is the last rolling piedmont, and the rest is flat coastal plain cut by swampy creek bottoms.
