About this map

Cameron and Murchisontown anchor this 2016 survey of the rolling Sandhills region where Lee, Moore, and Harnett Counties meet. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage ways, including Butler Cr, Juniper Cr, and the three distinct branches of Upper Run, Middle Run, and Lower Run. These watercourses feed into wetlands like MacDonald Swamp and Gum Swamp, illustrating the hydrological complexity of the area north of Big Ridge.

Family history and local landmarks are preserved through the locations of Johnson Cem and Pierce Cem, situated near Run Br and Reedy Br. Notable localized terrain features like Round Top and Rooster Field provide specific points of reference for researchers. The map also traces established rural routes such as Old US Hwy 1 and Cypress Church Rd, documenting the contemporary infrastructure alongside historic land divisions.
