About this map

The Cape Fear River winds through this region south of Fayetteville, defining a landscape of wetlands and extractive industry in the mid-1980s. Extensive Sandpit and Gravel Pits operations line the riverbanks and the corridor of the CSX railroad, while the northwestern corner is occupied by the Municipal Airport Grannis Field. The map documents a well-established rural social fabric, evidenced by a high density of small congregations and community centers, including Mt Calvary Ch, Bethlehem Ch, and the Grays Creek Community Ctr.

Significant drainage networks like the Hair Canal and Murphy Swamp illustrate the management of the low-lying terrain. Local infrastructure ranges from the Grays Creek Elem Sch and Seabrook Sch to recreational sites like the Drag Strip and a nearby Golf Course. Small family and community landmarks, such as the Evans Cem and House of Prayer, provide essential points of reference for genealogical research in Cumberland County.
