2019 Map of Fair Bluff

About this map

Fair Bluff anchors this borderland landscape, situated along the winding course of the Lumber River as it crosses between North Carolina and South Carolina. This 2019 survey captures the town's street grid and its position as a historic river crossing point at the intersection of Columbus and Robeson Counties. To the northwest, the settlement of Marietta sits near the headwaters of the regional swamp systems, reflecting a settlement pattern deeply tied to the elevation changes between the low-lying wetlands and the agricultural uplands. The map provides a contemporary record of the complex geopolitical boundaries where North Carolina's Columbus and Robeson Counties meet South Carolina's Dillon and Horry Counties, an area historically defined by river transport and the timber-rich swamplands of the coastal plain.
