About this map

Maxton stands as the primary hub of this landscape, situated right at the boundary between Scotland Co and Robeson Co. The town's grid is dense with street-level detail, leading toward the Lumber River and the neighboring community of Alma. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the McLeod Memorial Cem and Oak Grove Cem near the town center provides important points for tracing family roots in this corner of the state.

The surrounding geography is dominated by a complex network of wetlands and drainages, including Watering Hole Swamp, Back Swamp, and Ashpole Swamp. These water features, alongside Maxton Pond and Country Club Lake, illustrate the low-lying, hydrologically rich character of the region. This 2022 survey details how modern infrastructure interacts with these traditional natural barriers, tracing named routes such as Alma Rd and Old Red Springs Rd through the alluvial plains of the river valley.
