2010 Map of Moncure

About this map

Deep River and Haw River converge at the heart of this landscape to form the Cape Fear River, a major hydrological junction that has historically defined the region's geography and transport. The confluence is marked by McKay Island, while further upstream, the Ramsey Millpond Dam regulates the flow near the settlement of Blacknel. Small rural communities such as Moncure, Haywood, Rosser, and Brickhaven are connected by a network of winding roads, including Old US 1 and Lick Creek Rd. Numerous drainage systems like Wombles Creek and Lick Creek carve through the terrain, illustrating the intricate watershed that feeds the Cape Fear. The presence of the C P and L Rd railroad suggests the ongoing importance of industrial and utility infrastructure within this river-centered corridor.
