About this map

The South River and Little Turnbull Cr define the low-lying wetland landscape of this North Carolina interior, where the border of Cumberland and Bladen counties meets. This region is characterized by a high density of "bays"—distinctive elliptical depressions such as Bear Path Bay, Mill Bay, and the expansive Big Colly Bay—which dominate the local geography. The settlement of Ammon and the nearby Ammon Ford serve as focal points for a network of rural roads, including Old Fayetteville Rd and the Fayetteville-Wilmington Rd.

Unique local identifiers appear across the terrain, from the Zombie Air Force Airport to the Charlie Long Millpond. The map provides a contemporary view of land use, where family-named routes like Murphy Farm Rd and Mr Holmes Farm Rd connect isolated agricultural holdings and timber tracts. Ecological features like Green Swamp and Dickenson Meadow further illustrate the intricate drainage patterns that have shaped movement and property boundaries in this part of the coastal plain for generations.
