1957 Map of Lobelia

About this map

The Fort Bragg Military Reservation dominates the southern landscape of this region, bordering the rural communities of Lobelia and Inverness. This mid-century survey captures a topography defined by the meandering Little River, which is fed by James Creek and Crane Creek. The presence of the Lake Surf impoundment at the northern edge, marked with an elevation of 223 feet, suggests the evolving water management and land use during the 1950s and its later 1980s updates.
