2013 Map of Pembroke

About this map

Pembroke State University serves as a central landmark for this North Carolina community, reflecting its deep roots in higher education. The town of Pembroke itself is the focal point of a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways, where the Lumber River winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle. This area in Robeson County is characterized by numerous swampy branches, such as Bear Swamp, Moss Neck Swamp, and the uniquely named Watering Hole Swamp, which historically influenced local drainage and land use patterns. Small settlements like Pates, Prospect, and Moss Neck are scattered across the region, connected by a dense grid of rural roads and state routes. The Robeson County Fairgrounds sits just south of the main town, highlighting a space dedicated to regional community gatherings and agricultural heritage. Researchers can also trace local lineage through family-named transit routes like Harpers Ferry Rd.
