About this map

Pinebluff and the surrounding Moore County landscape are defined by a mix of agricultural heritage and large-scale military and conservation holdings. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad anchors the northern settlements, passing through Addor and alongside a specialized Ice Loading Platform, which likely served the region's agricultural shipments. To the south and west, the landscape transitions into extensive state and federal tracts, including the Sandhills Game Land and the Camp Mackall Military Reservation.

Genealogists will find value in local landmarks such as Silver Springs Cemetery near the community of Silver Springs, as well as Poplar Springs Church and the McFarland Sch further east. The map records the varied water systems of the Sandhills, from the marshes of Quewhiffle Creek to Big Muddy Lake, highlighting the area's transition from small rural communities like McFarland and Pine Hill to the tactical grounds of the Mackall Auxiliary Airfield.
