About this map

The Lumber River and its intricate network of swamps and creeks dominate this corner of Robeson County. The town of Maxton serves as the primary hub, where residential blocks meet the industrial and agricultural landscape of the North Carolina coastal plain. Significant water management is evident at Maxton Pond Dam and Country Club Lake Dam, which control the flow of Shoe Heel Creek and smaller tributaries.

Smaller settlements and communities like Alma, Red Banks, and Raemon are scattered across the region, connected by a dense grid of rural roads and highways. The map provides excellent detail for genealogists and local historians, pinpointing sites such as the McLeod Memorial Cemetery and the uniquely named Seven Bridges. The landscape is a mix of lowland wetlands like Back Swamp and Watering Hole Swamp, interspersed with the developed areas of the Country Club Lake vicinity.
