About this map

Raeford serves as the regional hub of this landscape, situated at the junction of the Aberdeen and Rockfish RR and key local thoroughfares like Central Ave and Prospect Ave. The town is characterized by institutional landmarks including the Courthouse, Armory, and the Hoke County High Sch. Beyond the town limits, the geography is defined by an extensive network of wetlands and watercourses, notably Raft Swamp and the broad Big Marsh Swamp, which dictate the placement of rural settlements and agricultural plots.

Religious and community life is anchored by numerous small congregations scattered across the countryside, such as French Spring Ch, Piney Grove Ch, and Antioch Ch near the southern border with Robeson County. The mapping also identifies industrial and infrastructure sites like the Industrial Waste Ponds and a local landing strip, alongside several smaller communities including Dundarrach, Hillcrest, and Silver City.
