1956 Map of Anderson Creek

About this map

Norrington Crossroads and the surrounding agricultural lands of Harnett County define this mid-century landscape. The area is marked by a network of rural institutions, from the Anderson Creek School to numerous small houses of worship such as McRaes Chapel, Mt Olive Church, and Spring Hill Church. The topography is shaped by the Upper Little River and its various tributaries, including Barbecue Creek and Rocky Run, which drain the rolling terrain north of the Big Ridge. In the southern portion of the sheet, the landscape transitions toward the military influence of the era, shown through prominent roads like Nursery Road and Mac Arthur Road leading toward the installation boundary. Genealogists will find significant value in the well-documented burial sites such as Layton Chapel Cemetery, Rogers Cemetery, and Darroch Cemetery.
