23Geography (Contd)
- LOCATION
- Pitt County, North Carolina is located on the
U.S. Atlantic seaboard approximately midway
between Boston, Massachusetts and Miami, Florida
and within a day's drive of over one-half the
nation's population. Many of the principal U.S.
industrial markets such as Boston, New York,
Pittsburgh, Chicago, Atlanta, Memphis, and Miami
are within a two day's drive by truck.
Additionally, the Pitt County/Greenville area
offers an advantageous location for
exporters/importers of either bulk or
containerized freight, being equidistant from the
three east coast ports of Norfolk-Hampton Roads,
Wilmington, and Morehead City (see Transportation
for greater detail). -
- REGIONAL PERSPECTIVE
- Pitt County is situated in the central portion
of the North Carolina Coastal Plain,
approximately 90 miles east of the Research
Triangle, 30 miles inland from coastal waters, 80
miles from the Atlantic Ocean (the famous Outer
Banks), and roughly 275 miles from the
Appalachian Mountains (the Blue Ridge Parkway). - Greenville, the county seat and largest city, is
centrally located within the County. Greenville
is approximately 85 miles east of Raleigh, N.C.
(the state Capital and eastern-most point of the
Research Triangle), 163 miles south of Richmond,
Virginia, and 115 miles north of Wilmington, N.C.
(the State's major seaport). - Ideally situated within eastern North Carolina
at the hub of a radiating highway network, the
Pitt County/Greenville area is the logical point
of distribution east of Raleigh. Nearly
three-quarters of a million people (750,000)
people live within a forty-five (45) mile radius
of Pitt County in such industrialized cities as
Rocky Mount, Tarboro, Wilson, Washington,
Goldsboro, Kinston and New Bern. In-bound freight
can be delivered via CSX Transportation and the
Norfolk Southern Railway or over major four-lane
highways (multi-lane divided highways run from
Pitt County to all North Carolina borders). For
distribution purposes, all of the major regional
cities can be accessed directly via state/federal
numbered highways, ensuring minimal transit
times, safe driving conditions on wide pavement,
and few, if any, weight or height restrictions. -

24PHYSIOGRAPHY
- Topography
- The Pitt County Area lies in the Atlantic
Coastal Plain physiographic province and slopes
gently to the east and southeast. Broad, flat
interstream areas are the dominant topographic
features marked topographic variations are
lacking. Slopes generally are less than 4
percent, except for breaks along the south side
of the Tar River and its tributaries. Also, the
area north of the Tar River slopes more gently
than the southern section. - Areas north of the Tar River area generally are
lower in elevation than that part south of the
Tar. Elevations in the northern and southern
parts range, respectively, from approximately 10
to 50 feet and 10 to 75 feet above mean sea
level. The highest elevations are encountered
along the extreme western boundary of the county. - Streams are of sufficient abundance to provide
good drainage. The Tar River and its tributaries
drain most of the county, but tributaries of the
Neuse River, Swift Creek, and Contentnea Creek
drain all the southern and extreme western areas
of the county, respectively. - Geology
- Pitt County is underlaid by unconsolidated beds
of sand, clay, and calcareous sediment. Inclined
southeasterly at a rate slightly greater than the
land's surface, the beds thicken as they near the
coast and reach their greatest thickness
offshore. For the most part, these beds were
deposited in sea water as the sea advanced and
retreated during the geologic development of the
Atlantic Coastal Plain. To a much lesser extent,
streams deposited layers of sediment which mixed
with that deposited on the sea floor. About 750
feet underneath the sedimentary cover underlying
Greenville is a basement rock floor consisting of
weathered granite, gneiss, schist, and slate.
Load bearing capabilities of soils vary widely
many areas of the county can support heavy
industrial loads without the need for pilings.
Soil boring tests are suggested. Preliminary test
data is available for selected sites. - Underground aquifers in the region provide
stable well yields of 250 gallons per minute up
to 800 gallons per minute at depths of 350 feet
to 550 feet. Average yields are 450 gpm.
25Physiography (Contd)
-
- Climate
- Pitt County is in the warmest area of North
Carolina due to its close proximity to the ocean
and its low-lying topography. Greenville has an
average daily maximum temperature of 72F and an
average daily minimum of 48F. The average annual
precipitation is 49.0 inches. A large part of the
rainfall during the growing season (approximately
220 freeze-free days between late March and early
November) is due to thunderstorms and is quite
variable between months, years, and localities.
Winter rainfall is less variable. Frozen
precipitation occurs nearly every winter, but
accumulations are usually small and melt quickly.
Wind speeds average about 8 miles per hour. The
average relative humidity in midafternoon is
about 50, falling from about 85 at sunrise.
Cloudiness is variable with sunshine about
one-half of the total daylight hours in winter
and two-thirds of the total daylight hours in
other seasons. -
