About this map

The Deep River and Rocky River converge in this northern section of Lee County, defining a landscape of winding watercourses and historical settlements. Along the southern edge, the growth of Sanford is evident, while smaller communities like Cumnock, Farmville, and Colon dot the surrounding countryside. This contemporary topographic record captures the area's transition from rural riverbanks to expanding residential and commercial centers, with features such as Sky View Lake and Moretz Riverside Landing marking the local topography.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established landmarks including the Farmville Cem and Lee Memory Gardens Cem, alongside numerous family-named roads like Wade Bright Rd and Walter Bright Rd. The map also preserves traces of the region's industrial past with labels like Copper Mine Cr, while current infrastructure is represented by the intersection of major routes in Northview and the outlying rail-side hamlet of Osgood.
