About this map

The Cape Fear River forms a significant boundary on this map, meeting the Buckhorn Dam near the convergence of Chatham, Lee, and Harnett counties. The landscape of the mid-1970s is defined by a network of rural settlements and crossroads, including Cokesbury, Corinth, and Hollemans Crossroads. Much of the industrial activity in the region follows the Norfolk Southern rail line, which passes through Duncan and serves as a corridor for local commerce and transport.

Genealogists and local historians will find numerous community landmarks, such as Collins Grove Ch, Prince Chapel, and Sweet Springs Ch. The topography is intricately carved by several waterways, most notably Buckhorn Creek and White Oak Creek, while purple photorevisions indicate significant land changes or potential flooding near the river's edge, highlighting the evolving nature of this North Carolina terrain during the late 20th century.
