1993 Map of Cokesbury

About this map

Shearon Harris Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of this region, its irregular shoreline reaching into the drainage of Norris Branch and Cary Branch. This area, where Wake, Chatham, Harnett, and Lee counties meet, shows a transition from the artificial water systems to the natural flow of the Cape Fear River in the south. The rural character of the late 20th century is punctuated by established communities like Hollemans Crossroads and Cokesbury. Local history is anchored by numerous spiritual landmarks including Collins Grove Ch, Prince Chapel, and Sweet Springs Ch. The topography rises to Chalk Level Hill in the south, while the Buckhorn Dam stands as a significant point of infrastructure along the river, marking the intersection of natural waterways and local utility development in this central North Carolina corridor.
