1953 Map of Chadbourn

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Lumber River and the Atlantic Coast Line railroad define the geography of Columbus County in this mid-century survey. The landscape is dominated by a distinctive pattern of elliptical depressions known locally as bays, including Rough Bay, Cow Bay, and Flat Bay, which dictate the placement of roads and farms. The town of Chadbourn serves as a central hub, appearing here during a period of steady growth before modern highway expansions.
