About this map

The town of Broadway and the surrounding borderlands of Lee and Harnett Counties are defined by the winding course of the Upper Little River and its varied tributaries. Just north of the town center, Watson Lake and the City Water Works Lake serve as primary water features, while the residential development around Lake Trace highlights modern landscape shifts in the western portion of the quadrangle. The map details a network of rural routes named for early settler families, such as Avents Ferry Rd and Hunter Farm Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Morris Chapel United Methodist Church Cem in the southern section, a significant landmark for tracing community roots near the small settlement of Swann. The transition from the more developed outskirts of Sanford to the smaller crossroads of Seminole and Ryes reveals a pattern of dispersed agricultural and residential growth tied to these historic thoroughfares.
