How to Use This Faison, North Carolina Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Faison, North Carolina. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of North Carolina or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Faison.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Faison emerges from the flat, industrious plains of North Carolina as a place where the horizon stretches wide and unencumbered by the shadow of the distant Blue Ridge. It lies 20.2 miles south-southwest of Goldsboro, NC (from Goldsboro, NC: bearing 204°T), and is situated 6.8 miles southwest of Mount Olive. The landscape is defined by the steady, low-lying expanse of the coastal plain, where the earth holds a dark, fertile promise in its soil. Only a mile away, the quiet waters of Reedy Branch trace a slow path through the woods, while the slightly more expansive waters of Bowden Millpond rest four miles to the north, offering a stillness that seems to permeate the very air. In the damp morning light, the atmosphere carries a heavy, verdant scent, and the expansive Bear Pocosin basin nearby creates a subtle, low-slung geography that dictates the drainage of the fields and the character of the woods.

Faison preserves a long-standing agricultural legacy that continues to shape the rhythm of daily life, where the labor of the hands remains as vital as the machinery in the fields. The Town of Faison - Faison Recreation and Wellness Center serves as a focal point for the local gathering, providing a modern anchor for a populace deeply connected to the cycles of harvest and growth. The economy has historically been tied to the bounty of the land, with the persistent presence of produce and commerce defining the local identity far more than any distant landmark. As the sun dips low, casting long, amber shadows across the fields, the quietude of Faison reflects a resilience born of long seasons spent cultivating this specific, singular stretch of the earth.

About This Faison Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Faison, North Carolina. Coordinates: 35.116276, -78.136103. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Faison includes the ZIP code (28341), telephone area code (704, 980), county seat of Duplin County (Kenansville), and school district assignment (Duplin County Schools).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
