1986 Map of Chadbourn NE

About this map

Big Swamp and the surrounding lowlands of the North Carolina Coastal Plain dominate this 1980s landscape, where the borders of Robeson, Bladen, and Columbus counties meet. The settlement pattern is defined by a network of rural hubs, including Lennons Crossroads and Oak Dale Crossroads, rather than a central town. This era shows a community deeply rooted in its local landscape, with numerous family-named landmarks such as Kelly Cem, Browns Cem, and Porters Cem scattered near the winding waters of Brier Creek and Horsepen Branch.
