1983 Map of Lakeport

Significant water bodies and drainage systems shape the local geography, including Lake Le Tourneau, Ferguson Lake, and the northern reaches of Lake Cherokee. Notable landmarks such as the County Airport and small rural cemeteries provide important reference points for genealogists and local historians. The map documents a moment in time when traditional crossroads settlements like Elderville remained distinct even as the larger regional centers grew, connected by a network of creeks like Wade Creek and Mason Creek.
