About this map

The Cape Fear River and Little River converge in this part of Harnett County, shaping a landscape defined by significant water management and rural settlement. The town of Erwin serves as a central hub, containing the Erwin Post Office and nearby Erwin Airport, while the Beaverdam Swamp Canal illustrates historical efforts to drain and manage the low-lying wetlands south of the main settlement.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Averasboro Cemetery north of Linden, a marker of the area's deep roots near the riverbanks. The map documents numerous family-named roads such as Susan Tart Rd, N T Whittington Ln, and John Lee Rd, which provide clues to the local landownership patterns of the early 21st century. Smaller communities like Turlington and features such as Jernigans Pond Dam on Stewart Creek further detail the rural character of this North Carolina river country.
