About this map

The Lumber River and its intricate network of tributaries and canals define this portion of Columbus County, North Carolina. At the center of the map, the community of Boardman serves as a focal point near the river's edge, while Evergreen occupies the southeastern corner. The landscape is characterized by its reliance on the river, evidenced by numerous historical water access points such as Piney Island Landing, Parkers Upper Landing, and Aces Landing.

Inland, the terrain transitions into complex wetlands and managed waterways like the Big Branch Canal and Gum Swamp Canal. Genealogists and local historians can trace family ties through several small burial grounds, including Ward Cemetery, Britt Cemetery, and Jones Cemetery. Settlement patterns follow the higher ground, notably at Pea Ridge and Piney Island, connected by rural routes such as Old Boardman Rd and Old Highway 74.
