1957 Map of Bladenboro
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
The swampy lowlands of the Robeson and Bladen county line define this mid-century landscape, where the Cape Fear River cuts through the northeast corner and the Seaboard Air Line railroad anchors the commercial center of Bladenboro. This era shows a transition in transportation, with the historic Old Stage Road and Turnpike Road still marked alongside emerging local highways. The region is a dense network of timber and tobacco country, evidenced by the numerous named swamps like Tenmile Swamp and Burnt Swamp that dictated the placement of small settlements and post-war schools.
