About this map

Ammon and Ammon Ford sit within a unique hydrological landscape where the South River defines the boundary between Cumberland and Bladen counties. This region is characterized by Carolina bays—distinctive elliptical depressions such as Bear Path Bay, Peters Creek Bay, and Sessoms Bay—that pockmark the terrain alongside sprawling wetlands like Turnbull Swamp. The drainage pattern is intricate, with Little Turnbull Cr and Peters Cr winding through these natural basins.

Local industry and agricultural history are etched into the map through features like the Charlie Long Millpond and several named farm roads, including Ammon Farm Rd and Murphy Farm Rd. The presence of the Zombie Air Force Airport adds a modern, uniquely named landmark to this otherwise rural setting. This survey illustrates the persistence of traditional land use and family-named landmarks in the North Carolina coastal plain.
