1997 Map of Northwest Lumberton

About this map

Raft Swamp dominates the central drainage of this North Carolina landscape, where the meandering waters of the Lumber River meet the growing outskirts of Lumberton. The terrain is defined by a dense network of blackwater streams and elliptical depressions, including Jacob Bay and the smaller Circle T Lake, which reflect the unique coastal plain geography of Robeson County. This map highlights the transition from rural agricultural land to suburban expansion at the end of the twentieth century.
