About this map

Coats and the historic settlement of Barclaysville anchor this portion of the North Carolina landscape, where the upper reaches of the Black River and its tributaries carve a network through the coastal plain. The terrain is defined by a series of managed water bodies, including Popes Lake, Chesterfield Lake, and Guys Pond, each showing the local reliance on dams for water management and recreation. To the west, Buies Creek flows toward the Cape Fear River, passing near the Johnson Cemetery and the campus environments that characterize this region.

Local transportation and infrastructure are detailed through the inclusion of Stewart Airport and a dense web of rural routes like Old Stage Rd N and Benson Rd. These roads connect family-named landmarks and community centers such as Lakeside Memorial Gardens. The map provides a clear view of the rural-to-suburban transition occurring at the start of the 21st century, as residential pockets expand along Thorntons Creek and Stewart Creek.
