About this map

Lumber Bridge and Parkton serve as the primary population centers in this 2010 landscape, where the coastal plain of North Carolina is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and small water bodies. The geography is dominated by numerous marsh systems, including Little Marsh Swamp and Bogue Swamp, which influence the winding paths of rural roads like Phillippi Church Rd and Sam McGougan Gin Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks such as the Wood Cemetery and McGougan Cemetery, alongside recreational and community sites like Rockfish Camp and the Upchurch Boy Scout Camp. The transition from agricultural land to woodland is marked by several impoundments, such as Upchurches Pond and Kings Pond, while the Parkton Lookout Tower stands as a notable vertical landmark near the eastern edge of the survey area. The presence of named drainages like Sassafrass Branch and Puppy Creek further illustrates the hydrological complexity of this Cumberland County region.
