About this map

The town of Carthage sits at the center of this Moore County landscape, serving as a hub for local routes like Carthage Rd and Dowd Rd. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Killetts Cr, McLendons Cr, and Nicks Cr that feed toward the Little River in the south. These waterways are punctuated by numerous small reservoirs and community water bodies such as Long Leaf Lake, Spring Valley Lake, and Fly Rod Lake.

Aviation and recreation are prominent features of the area, evidenced by the Gilliam-Mc Connell Airfield north of the main settlement and the Tobacco Road Airport near the eastern border. To the southeast, the residential developments of Southern Pines and Whispering Pines indicate the suburban growth extending from the county's established population centers. Smaller communities like Pleasantville, Eastwood, and Hill Crest maintain their distinct identities along the county's winding road system.
