About this map

Fort Bragg Military Reservation dominates the southern half of this landscape at the border of Hoke, Moore, and Harnett counties. The map reflects a mid-century rural environment undergoing transition, anchored by the community of Lobelia and the expansive waters of Lake Surf. The terrain is defined by a series of significant watercourses, including James Creek, Crane Creek, and the winding path of the Little River, which are punctuated by local landmarks like the Morrison Bridge.

Genealogists and local historians can find several established rural centers such as Mt Pleasant and Inverness, alongside spiritual landmarks like Frys Chapel, Oak Ridge Ch, and Mt Pleasant Ch. Resource extraction is evident in the Sand Pit and Sand and Gravel sites, while the military presence is further detailed by an Airfield, a Lookout Tower, and Ranger Station No 1. The map also identifies prominent local elevations, including Johnson Mtn and Gaddys Mtn.
