2016 Map of Rockingham

About this map

Rockingham serves as the focal point of this study, anchored by a network of suburban and industrial developments alongside the Pee Dee River. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic influence of Hitchcock Creek and its associated impoundments like Great Falls Pond and Steeles Mill Pond, which historically powered the local textile economy. Small residential pockets and former mill villages such as Cordova, Midway, and Honey Town surround the city center, while the Richmond County Airport occupies the southeastern reaches. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted across the terrain, including Popular Springs Cem and the Northam Cem near the northern boundary. The bypass of Highway 74 cuts through the center of the sheet, illustrating modern transportation shifts away from the older river-oriented settlement patterns.
