1957 Map of Manchester

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Fort Bragg Military Reservation and the adjacent Pope Air Force Base dominate this mid-century landscape in Cumberland County. The survey details a period of significant military infrastructure development, showing the complex layouts of Simmons Airfield, a dedicated military Hospital, and numerous barracks and training grounds. The civilian and military worlds meet at Spring Lake and the settlement of Manchester, where the Atlantic Coast Line railroad cuts through the terrain. North of the Little River, the land shifts toward more rural drainage patterns defined by Jumping Run Creek and Carvers Creek. Local genealogy interest is centered on several rural landmarks, including Bethel Ch, Eureka Ch, and Raksam Chapel, alongside scattered farmsteads that remained amidst the expanding military footprint.
