About this map

The Pembroke State Univ campus anchors this 2002 topographic study, illustrating the educational heart of Pembroke. Situated along the southern reach of the Lumber River, the landscape is defined by an intricate network of wetlands, including Watering Hole Swamp, Bear Swamp, and Juniper Swamp. These lowlands are interspersed with evidence of local industry, specifically several Sandpits near the riverbanks.

Rural life in Robeson County is well-documented through its numerous community centers, such as Union Elem Sch and a high density of country churches including Bear Swamp Ch, Riverside Memorial Ch, and Townsend Ch. The map also preserves the locations of smaller settlements and crossings like Harpers Ferry, Moss Neck, and Pates, providing a clear view of the regional road network and its relationship to the surrounding swamplands at the start of the 21st century.
