Reading property lines on the Pitt County GIS map
A lot line on the Pitt County GIS map near Farmville is a drawing based on deeds, not a measurement taken on site. Out toward Black Jack, boundaries follow bearings and old landmarks rather than a grid, and the parcel layer shows it. For a fence, an addition or a dispute in Pitt County, budget for a licensed survey; it's the answer a court or a lender will accept.
The lay of the land in Pitt County
Ayden, Bethel, Falkland, and Farmville fill out the town list, and Greenville is where the county seat sits. Unincorporated spots like Bell Arthur, Belvoir, and Stokes are worth a look if you want rural acreage near a crossroads community. Pitt County was created in 1760 and takes its name from William Pitt the Elder. The Census Bureau puts Pitt County at about 652 square miles of land and an estimated 175,119 people (2023). With that many people per square mile, the Pitt County parcel layer is crowded with platted lots, and the remaining open tracts stand out quickly.
