About this map

The Deep River curves across this landscape at the intersection of Chatham, Lee, and Moore counties, anchoring a region defined by industrial extraction and small rural congregations. The town of Goldston serves as a central hub, where the Southern railway line meets local landmarks like the Walters Sch and Mt Herman Ch. To the southeast, the settlement of Gulf highlights the area's geological utility with numerous Claypits and a Filtration Plant positioned near the riverbanks.

Rural life in the early 1970s is well-documented through a network of country churches, including Roberts Chapel, St Lukes Ch, and Bethlehem Ch. The presence of several Quarry sites and the Norfolk Southern tracks suggests a landscape transitioning between traditional river-valley farming and the material demands of regional industry. Waterways such as Indian Creek and Pocket Creek provide the primary drainage for the surrounding timber and agricultural lands.
