About this map

The Cape Fear River defines the southwestern boundary of this landscape, where the Buckhorn Dam stands near the intersection of Chatham, Lee, and Harnett counties. In the mid-1970s, this region remained predominantly rural, characterized by small crossroads settlements and a network of country churches that served as community anchors. Hollemans Crossroads and Corinth mark important junctions in the northern reaches, while Cokesbury and Duncan serve as local hubs further south and east.

Transportation and industry are represented by the Norfolk Southern rail line, which cuts across the terrain, and a prominent Pipeline corridor. The geography is deeply dissected by numerous creeks, including Buckhorn Creek and White Oak Creek, which drain into the river system. Local genealogy is well-documented through sites like Collins Grove Ch, Prince Chapel, and Starlight Memorial Garden, alongside scattered family cemeteries.
