About this map

Maxton serves as a significant rail and educational hub in this Robeson County landscape, marked by the presence of the Carolina Military Academy and the junction of the Seaboard Coast Line. The town's grid is dense with local institutions like St Pauls Ch, St Matthews Ch, and the Dean Sch. Outside the town center, the Lumber River and its intricate network of swamps, including Gum Swamp and Watering Hole Swamp, define the rural character of the area.

Local industry and community life are reflected in the numerous sandpits and scattered rural settlements such as Alma and Raemon. This 1970s record highlights a transition in transportation, showing the Old Railroad Grade alongside active tracks. Notable recreational and spiritual sites like the Lumbee Recreation Center and Antioch Mission provide insight into the social fabric of the region during this era.
