Bill Pappas is a long-time resident of northwest Craven County, NC and a retired highway inspector. In answer to my question, he said that Beasley Island is or used to be on Mill Branch, a tributary of Core Creek. Mill Branch crosses Wintgreen Road about thwo-thirds of the way from Hwy 55 to Cove City. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
