About this map

Carthage sits at the center of this Moore County landscape, serving as a hub for local routes like White Oak Rd and Bethlehem Church Rd. The area's transition from rural crossroads to residential growth is evident in the cluster of settlements including Pleasantville, Hill Crest, and Eastwood, which lead toward the more developed outskirts of Southern Pines and Whispering Pines to the south.

A network of water bodies and aviation sites defines the local infrastructure. Small private and community aviation is represented by the Gilliam-McConnell Airfield and the Tobacco Road Airport. The drainage of the Little River and McLendons Cr feeds several named reservoirs, such as Thagards Lake and Shadow Lake, illustrating how the region's topography has been managed for recreation and local utility. This survey captures the county seat and its surrounding townships before further 21st-century suburban expansion.
