2013 Map of Raeford

About this map

The town of Raeford serves as the central hub of this Hoke County landscape, where the street grid transitions into a network of rural roads and expansive wetlands. To the southeast, small settlements like Dundarrach and Arabia are scattered among the significant drainage systems of Big Marsh Swamp and Little Marsh Swamp. The map documents a blend of residential growth and agriculture, evidenced by newer developments like Hillcrest and the longstanding agricultural presence at Gibson Farms. Hydrology dominates the terrain, with Rockfish Cr and Raft Swamp carving through the area, influencing the placement of local infrastructure. For those researching family history, the inclusion of Scurlock School Rd and names like McNeills Mill Cr provides clues to earlier community centers and local industry in the early 21st century.
