2010 Map of Fairmont

About this map

Fairmont stands at the northwestern corner of this landscape, where the Pitman Mill Branch feeds into a network of wetlands and small agricultural communities. This 2010 survey illustrates the deep-rooted family history of rural Robeson County, documented through a dense distribution of family burial grounds such as Bullock Cemetery, Atkinson Cemetery, and Hedgpeth Cemetery. The drainage pattern is dominated by the Big Indian Swamp and its tributaries, which dictate the placement of local settlements like Proctorville and Barnesville.
