Wilson County elevation and terrain tools
Coastal Plain • County seat: Wilson
Wilson County is flat inner coastal plain drained by Contentnea Creek, which winds through broad swampy bottoms past Wilson, and by Toisnot Swamp and Black Creek. The western edge rises a little toward the fall line, and the rest is level fields between the swamps.
