2013 Map of Northwest Lumberton

About this map

Raft Swamp and its numerous tributaries dominate the landscape northwest of Lumberton, creating a complex drainage network that includes Richland Swamp, Burnt Swamp, and Holy Swamp. This 2013 survey illustrates the transition from rural Robeson County to the expanding urban edge, where traditional agricultural settlements like Saddletree and Lowe are increasingly connected by modern developments. The southern portion of the map follows the winding course of the Lumber River, where smaller branches like Fivemile Br and Meadow Br feed into the main channel. Family-named roads such as McQueen Rd, Buies Mill Rd, and Snipes Rd offer researchers a look at local land ownership patterns and historic rural routes. The presence of Circle T Lake and Little Tenmile Swamp further emphasizes the wetland character of this coastal plain terrain.
