About this map

The Fort Bragg Military Reservation dominates the southern half of this landscape, its boundary cutting through the heart of Hoke and Moore counties. The expansive waters of Lake Surf appear to the north, fed by Cypress Creek and Crane Creek. This area is characterized by a transition from military training grounds to quiet settlements like Lobelia and Inverness. A small Airfield and Ranger Station No 3 are positioned near the center, reflecting the strategic and managed nature of the terrain.

The winding course of the Little River separates the military lands from the hills to the north, crossed only by the Morrison Bridge. Genealogists and local researchers can identify rural landmarks such as Mt Pleasant Ch, the Lookout Tower, and high points like Johnson Mtn and Gaddy Mtn. The presence of a Sand and Gravel operation near the river indicates the local extractive industry that supported development in this part of North Carolina.
