1970 Map of Colon
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Industrial extraction and river geography define this section of Lee and Chatham counties, centered on the confluence of the Rocky River and Deep River. The landscape reflects a mix of traditional community centers and modern developments, such as the Drag Strip and Golf Course near Sanford. Along the Southern and Seaboard Coast Line railroads, the map identifies small settlements like Colon and Cumnock, alongside several Claypit sites that point to the area's brickmaking or ceramic history. Notable social landmarks include the Deep River High Sch and a variety of rural houses of worship, from Taylors Ch in the north to Community Chapel further south. The Farmville Cem and Lee Memory Gardens provide localized focus for genealogical research within this 1970 landscape.
