About this map

Broadway serves as the central hub for this rural landscape where the border of Lee and Harnett Counties cuts through a network of creeks and small settlements. The area's communal life is anchored by a significant density of country churches, including Poplar Springs Ch, Juniper Springs Ch, and Mt Pisgah Ch. These local landmarks, many with adjacent cemeteries, provide a clear view of the social fabric of the North Carolina Piedmont in the late 1970s.

The topography is defined by the winding course of the Upper Little River and the Little River, while human development is marked by the Old Railroad Grade passing through Seminole and Uzzell. The presence of the Carolina Trace Country Club and Trace Lake in the southwest corner signals a shift toward recreational land use, contrasting with the more traditional agricultural and wooded parcels surrounding Swann and Bryant. A local Fish Hatchery and numerous small stream branches like Patchett Creek and Daniels Creek further illustrate the water-rich nature of this Piedmont terrain.
