About this map

The Cape Fear River dominates this mid-1980s landscape, serving as a central artery for industrial and recreational activity. Significant infrastructure such as the William O Huske Lock and Dam No 3, Prospect Hall Landing, and several Gaging Sta installations reflect the managed water system of the era. To the west, the presence of Sewage Disposal and Ind Waste Ponds indicates established utility footprints near the community of Tobermory.

Tracing the rural road network reveals a high density of small community centers anchored by churches and family cemeteries. Features like Millars Chapel, St Rest Ch, and Second Newlight Ch are scattered across the landscape alongside distinctive Carolina bays, such as Bakers Lake and Thoroughfare Bay. The intersection of Bladen, Robeson, and Cumberland counties provides a focal point for genealogical research, with numerous unnamed Cem sites and the Cogdell Cem preserving the local history of small settlements like Tolarsville and Elease.
