About this map

The city of Rockingham and its surrounding suburbs dominate this landscape just east of the Pee Dee River. The transition from the urban core into industrial and residential pockets is evident in the cluster of named neighborhoods like West Rockingham, East Rockingham, and Jefferson Park. Historical industrial development is tied to the water, as seen at the Steele Millpond Dam on Hitchcock Creek near the town of Cordova.

The map reveals a landscape defined by localized hubs and family landmarks, from the elevation of Bunker Hill to the smaller settlements of Honey Town and Midway. Genealogists will find several burial sites noted, including Northan Cemetery and Popular Springs Cemetery. To the west, the riverbank at Walls Landing and the winding Cartledge Creek provide a sharp contrast to the developed corridors of the city and the Rockingham-Hamlet Airport to the southeast.
