About this map

Robeson County, North Carolina, and Dillon County, South Carolina, meet in this detailed survey of the coastal plain’s borderlands. The landscape is defined by its extensive swamp networks and characteristic elliptical depressions known as bays, including Mill Bay, Butler Bay, and Colson Bay. These features, along with Ashpole Swamp and Big Coupen Swamp, dictated the historical placement of roads and farmsteads.

Agricultural heritage and family lineage are deeply embedded in the land, as seen at Gaddysville and Hammond Crossroads. The map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, identifying numerous family burial grounds such as Britt Cem, Worley Cem, and Gaddy Cem. Water management for early industry is evident at Horns Old Millpond and Gaddys Millpond, while community centers are anchored by landmarks like Mount Zion Baptist Church and Piney Grove Baptist Church.
