Sampson County elevation and terrain tools
Coastal Plain • County seat: Clinton
Sampson County is flat inner coastal plain drained by Great Coharie Creek, Six Runs Creek and the Black River through long swampy bottoms toward the Cape Fear. The South River forms its western line, and level fields and Carolina bays fill the ground between the streams.
