1968 Map of Bennett

About this map

Deep River carves a sinuous path through the western portion of this Piedmont landscape, defining much of the topography where Richland Creek and Brush Creek meet the main channel. The survey reflects a rural community structure centered around small crossroads and numerous country churches, which served as the primary social anchors for the surrounding farmsteads. The settlement of Bennett stands as the principal hub in the east, while smaller points like Cheeks and the Landing Field indicate the local infrastructure of the late 1960s. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of several houses of worship, including Maple Springs Ch, Pleasant Grove Ch, and Riverside Ch, many of which are accompanied by local cemeteries. The map also clearly delineates the tri-county borders where Randolph, Chatham, and Moore counties intersect, illustrating how these political boundaries follow both ridgelines and watercourses like Fork Creek.
