About this map

Hope Mills sits at the heart of this landscape south of Fayetteville, where the suburban expansion of the 21st century meets the low-lying wetlands of the coastal plain. The map documents the dense residential development in Colonial Heights and Pine Knoll, juxtaposed against the natural drainage systems of Rockfish Creek and Beaver Cr. In the southern portion of the sheet, the terrain shifts into a more rural and swampy character, defined by features like Gallberry Bay and Odom Bay.

Genealogists can locate several family and community burial sites, including Adcox Cem near the town center and the more remote Nicholson Cem and Parnell Cem. The transportation corridor is dominated by the intersection of major routes near Roslin, while the transition across the Cumberland County and Robeson County line reveals how political boundaries intersect with the natural flow of Buckhorn Swamp and Swans Cr.
