2016 Map of Moncure

About this map

Deep River and the Cape Fear River converge near the historic settlement of Moncure, creating a landscape defined by significant water systems and the infrastructure supporting them. The area shows a transition between traditional river-centered communities like Haywood and modern developments such as the Raleigh Executive Jetport at Sanford-Lee County Airport. The CSX Transportation railroad line tracks through the northern section, a reminder of the region's long-standing connection to commerce and transportation that bypassed older water-based routes. Smaller hamlets like Rosser, Blacknel, and Brickhaven are connected by a network of rural roads such as Poplar Springs Church Rd and Moncure Flatwood Rd. Numerous creeks, including Lick Creek and Bush Cr, drain the varied topography, while landmarks like Ramsey Mill Pond and McKay Island offer specific points of interest for local history researchers.
