2013 Map of Coats

About this map

Coats and the educational hub of Buies Creek anchor this section of the coastal plain, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Black River and its numerous tributaries. By the early 21st century, the area shows a distinct aviation profile with three active landing sites, ranging from the large Harnett Regional Jetport Airport to smaller private strips like Barclaysville Field Airport and C A G Farms Airport. The rural character of Barclaysville persists among several significant water bodies, including Chesterfield Lake and Holts Lake, which point to a history of water management and recreation in this part of Harnett County. Local drainage is dominated by creek networks such as E Buies Cr and Thorntons Cr, which traverse the flat terrain between established road corridors like Old Stage Rd N.
