About this map

Hoffman serves as the primary settlement hub in this 1949 survey, situated along the Seaboard Air Line railroad. The landscape is defined by the Sand Hills and the winding course of Drowning Creek, which marks the boundary between Moore and Richmond counties. Notable institutional landmarks include the Morrison Training Sch and the extensive Camp Mackall Military Reservation in the southeast corner.

Local history is preserved through numerous rural churches such as McNir Chapel, New Bethel Ch, and Macedonia Ch. The area's water resources are well-documented, showing the Mc Kinney Lake Fish Hatchery and several artificial bodies like Indian Camp Lake and Broadacres Lakes. This map provides a detailed look at the transition from agriculture to forestry and military use in the mid-century Sandhills region.
