2019 Map of Bladenboro

About this map

Bladenboro serves as the focal point of this coastal plain landscape, where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts through a terrain defined by managed water and agricultural history. The area is marked by a complex network of drainage and mill sites, including Bridger Millpond, Nance Millpond, and Hester Millpond, reflecting the local reliance on the numerous swamps and canals like Bryant Swamp Canal. The map provides significant genealogical value through its many family-named burial grounds, such as Faulk Cem, Bryant Cem, and Hines Cem. To the west, the boundary between Robeson and Bladen Counties winds along watercourses near Butters and Richardson, while the broader landscape is dotted with unique Carolina bay formations like Blue Pond Bay and Sand Hill Bay.
