About this map

The confluence of the Little River and Lower Little River defines the landscape of the Harnett and Cumberland county line during the mid-20th century. This area is characterized by a dense network of rural infrastructure, including many family-named landmarks and community centers. Bunnlevel serves as a primary hub along the Norfolk Southern rail line, supported by smaller locales like Walkertown and Linden. The terrain is a mixture of agriculture and industry, evidenced by the numerous Sand and Gravel Pits and Brick Kilns located near the riverbanks.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local history through the numerous rural churches and cemeteries, such as McLeans Ch, Tabernacle Ch, and the McLean Cem. The presence of the Ennis PO and Anderson School highlights the localized social structure of the era. Water features like Byrd Mill Pond and Big Swamp illustrate the drainage patterns that shaped early settlement and road placement throughout the Big Ridge area.
