2013 Map of Cedar Creek

About this map

The Cape Fear River winds through this Cumberland County landscape, serving as a primary geographical anchor for the communities of Grays Creek and Cedar Creek. In the northwestern corner, the Fayetteville Regional Airport /Grannis Field establishes a major transportation presence, while the smaller Grays Creek Airport sits further south. The settlement of Lena and numerous rural residential corridors like Grays Creek Church Rd reflect the area's modern growth while maintaining traditional land patterns. Waterways such as Rockfish Cr, Big Sandy Run, and Locks Creek drain into the river, creating a complex hydrologic network that includes localized features like Rainbow Pond and the Hair Canal. This 2013 survey illustrates the balance between the expanding infrastructure of the Fayetteville periphery and the established rural character of the North Carolina coastal plain.
