2022 Map of Northwest Lumberton

About this map

Raft Swamp and the Lumber River dominate the low-lying terrain of Robeson County in this modern survey, which details the rural-to-urban transition of Lumberton. The map documents a landscape defined by significant water systems, including Richland Swamp and Holy Swamp, which weave between agricultural holdings and residential developments. Genealogists will find several family-named burial grounds and local landmarks, such as Boone Cem, McNeill Cem, and Gardens of Faith. Smaller outlying settlements like Saddletree and Lowe are shown with their local road networks and community centers, including Clyburn Church and Evergreen Church. The infrastructure reflects the area's continued reliance on the river and swamps for drainage, while modern transportation corridors bypass older hamlets, showing how the regional footprint has evolved from its colonial and early industrial roots.
