About this map

Ashpole Swamp and Bear Swamp dominate this borderland landscape where Robeson County, North Carolina meets South Carolina. The early 1960s terrain is a mosaic of tobacco and cotton fields interrupted by distinct elliptical depressions such as Butler Bay and Tupelo Bay. Small agricultural settlements like Gaddysville and Hammond Crossroads serve as local hubs, connected by the Gaddysville Road and a network of unpaved tracks.

Genealogists will find a high density of family names across the quadrangle, evidenced by numerous burial sites including the Townsend Cem, Bullock Cem, and Sanderson Cem. Spiritual life is anchored by community landmarks such as Piney Grove Indian Ch and Page Chapel. The local economy of the era is reflected in industrial features like the Sand and Gravel Pit near the northern boundary and the historical water management seen at Horns Old Millpond and Gaddys Millpond.
