2013 Map of Chadbourn NE

About this map

Mount Olive and several historical intersection communities anchor this rural landscape in Columbus County. The map details a series of crossroads including Lennons Crossroads, Piney Forest Crossroads, Hickmans Crossroads, and Oak Dale Crossroads, reflecting a settlement pattern built around small-scale agricultural hubs and secondary transport routes. Named family roads such as Paul Willoughby Rd, Walter Raleigh Cir, and Monroe Kennedy Rd further highlight the genealogical depth of this coastal plain area. The geography is characterized by distinct pocosin or wetland features known as bays, specifically Brier Bay, Rough Horn Bay, and Button Bay. These low-lying areas are drained by an intricate network of watercourses like Slender Br, Big Br, and the Big Swamp Canal, while Horsepen Landing on the edge of a branch suggests historical water access points in an otherwise wooded interior.
