2013 Map of Culberson

About this map

Culberson sits at the northern edge of this North Carolina and Georgia borderland, where the legacy of a mountain milling economy is written across the landscape. The proliferation of small settlements such as Thomas Mill, Bryan Mill, Lance Mill, and Sparks Mill suggests a history of localized industry tied to the region's many watercourses, including Hemptown Cr and Owenby Cr. To the east, the Robert W Woodruff Scout Reservation surrounds Lake Woodruff, preserving a large tract of the Blue Ridge foothills. The southern portion of the map is defined by the corridor of Old US Hwy 76 passing through Hemp, while the terrain rises sharply into prominent features like Watson Mountain and Richards Mountain. This survey documents a quiet rural area where family-named landmarks like Raper Knob and Davenport Knob indicate long-standing ties to the land.
