About this map

The Lumber River and Big Swamp dominate this mid-1980s landscape on the border of Robeson and Columbus Counties. The small community of Evergreen sits at the junction of the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and a network of rural roads, while Boardman is positioned near the swamp's edge. The terrain is a complex mosaic of named water bodies and bays, including Wild Cat Lake, Long Bay, and Bear Bay, interspersed with elevations like Pea Ridge and Little Bluff.

Evidence of the region's agricultural and industrial history is found in several sandpits and an Old RR Grade cutting through the lowland woods. For genealogists, the map identifies numerous local landmarks such as Mt Elam Ch, Macedonia Ch, and family-named burial sites like Jones Cem and Ward Cem. The area’s river-bound geography is further detailed by features like Piney Island Landing and Lennons Bridge.
