How to Use This Summerfield, North Carolina Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Summerfield, 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 Summerfield.

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.

Summerfield reveals itself through a landscape of persistent green, where the earth rises and falls in modest swells of red clay and loamy soil. It lies 2.0 miles west-northwest of Tarboro, NC (from Tarboro, NC: bearing 293°T), and is situated 12.5 miles east of Rocky Mount. The atmosphere holds a heavy, humid stillness that characterizes this inland stretch of the piedmont, occasionally broken by the low, rhythmic murmur of Hendricks Creek winding through the thickets nearby. At Sunset Park, the late afternoon light stretches shadows across the open expanse, turning the grasses to a burnished copper hue as the sun dips below the horizon. Five miles distant, the waters of Nobles Millpond remain undisturbed, reflecting the dense canopy of hardwoods that define the perimeter of the region.

Summerfield retains a quiet connection to its agrarian roots, favoring an open, sprawling character over the dense clustering of urban centers. While modern commerce and residential growth have gradually softened the edges of its rural heritage, the economy still echoes with the industry of a region once defined by the labor of the soil and the modest pace of local trade. The people move with a deliberate, courteous composure, mindful of a legacy that prizes self-reliance and the careful stewardship of the land. In the quiet corners of the neighborhood, the legacy of the past persists not in grand monuments, but in the enduring way the community maintains its identity amidst the steady, inevitable shifts of the modern day.

About This Summerfield Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Summerfield, North Carolina. Coordinates: 36.196913, -79.89721. 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 Summerfield includes the ZIP code (27886, 27834, 27358), telephone area code (919, 984, 336), county seat of Edgecombe County (Tarboro), and school district assignment (Guilford 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.
