2013 Map of Hope Mills

About this map

Hope Mills Lake serves as a central point for the residential communities south of Fayetteville, where the winding path of Rockfish Creek and its many tributaries define the local geography. In the early 21st century, this area shows significant suburban development through neighborhoods like Eaglewood Forest, Timberlake, and Golfer Acres. The landscape transitions from the dense residential clusters of Stoney Point in the northwest to the more open, swampy terrain of Buckhorn Swamp and Dums Marsh in the south. Aviation infrastructure is a prominent feature on the eastern edge of the map at Fayetteville Regional Airport/Grannis Field. Moving toward the southern boundary, the map records more traditional rural place names such as McMillan and Roslin, connected by long-established routes like Roslin Farm Road and Swans Creek Church Road.
