About this map

Little Singletary Lake and the surrounding coastal plain of Bladen County dominate this 2010 survey, showcasing a landscape defined by elliptical depressions known as Carolina Bays. These features, including Marshy Bay, Bucks Bay, and Sessoms Bay, create a unique hydrologic pattern where slow-moving waters like Lake Run and Ellis Creek drain the low-lying terrain. The small settlements of Jerome and White Oak anchor the local road network, which includes descriptively named routes such as Live Oak Methodist Church Rd and Old Fayetteville Rd.

Water management is evident through several small-scale structures like the Broadwell Lake Dam and C R Smith Dam on Jessups Pond. The map reveals a rural economy tied to the land, with numerous private lanes and tracks branching off Gum Spring Rd toward the various bays and creek bottoms. For genealogists and local historians, these specific road names and water bodies provide a precise record of the regional geography as it existed in the early 21st century.
