1973 Map of Coats

Researchers will find numerous small rural churches and burial sites such as Bethel Ch, Pleasant Plains Ch, and Lakeside Memorial Gardens scattered across the terrain. The infrastructure of the era is represented by the Harnett County Airport and a series of radio towers, while smaller industries are noted by the presence of Gravel Pits and various kennels. This map documents a transitional period in eastern North Carolina where traditional rail-aligned towns began to interface with modern aviation and expanding educational campuses.
