Geographic Layout of Voter Precincts

The county is structurally divided by Interstate 40 (running northwest to south) and Interstate 95 (running northeast to south), which intersect in the southern region. The map marks the municipal borders for towns like Clayton, Smithfield, Selma, Benson, and Princeton, with precincts distributed around them.

  • North and Northwest Region: The town of Clayton is anchored in the northwest, surrounded and subdivided by precincts PR10B (North Clayton 2) and PR11B (West Clayton 2) forming the upper and western boundaries. Central and southern Clayton are covered by PR10A (North Clayton 1), PR11A (West Clayton 1), PR09 (East Clayton), and PR34 (South Clayton). Directly east of Clayton lies the town of Archer Lodge, with precinct PR29A (Archer Lodge) and PR29B (Flowers Plantation). The northernmost border spans PR32 (North Wilders), PR20 (North O'Neals), and PR21 (South O'Neals).

  • West and Southwest Region: South of Clayton along the western border sit the Cleveland precincts: PR12A (North Cleveland 1), PR31B (Southwest Cleveland), PR12B (North Cleveland 2), and PR31A (Southeast Cleveland). Further south are the Pleasant Grove areas (PR23B, PR23A, and PR33) and the Elevation precincts (PR13 and PR14). In the far southwest corner, the town of Benson is situated within PR35 (Banner).

  • Central and South Region: The town of Smithfield acts as the geographic center of the county, bordered by PR40 (Smithfield) to the north, PR28 (South Smithfield) to the southwest, and PR26 (East Smithfield) to the southeast. Just northwest of Smithfield is the town of Wilson's Mills in PR30. The broad southern rural expanse is divided between PR37 (Ingrams), which contains the town of Four Oaks, PR38 (Meadow) stretching to the southern tip, and PR04 (Bentonville) in the deep southeast.

  • East and Northeast Region: The Interstate 95 corridor extends northeast from Smithfield, passing through the town of Selma (PR39) and the town of Micro (PR19). Just east of Selma is the town of Pine Level (PR22). The northeastern tip near the county border contains the town of Kenly within PR36 (Beulah). The far eastern edge of the county is represented by PR07 (North Boon Hill), housing the town of Princeton, and PR08 (South Boon Hill) directly below it.
