1987 Map of Roseboro
USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
The South River and its vast network of wetlands, including the Big Swamp and Little Coharie Swamp, dominate this mid-1980s landscape at the boundary of Sampson and Cumberland Counties. The town of Roseboro serves as the primary hub, where the CSX railroad and local roads intersect, supporting a mix of agricultural and industrial uses evidenced by a nearby Claypit and Sandpit. To the northwest, the settlement of Hayne sits along the rail line, while the rural interior is dotted with numerous family and community landmarks. Genealogists will find a high density of small burial sites and country churches, such as Pleasant Union Ch and Brick Mill Ch. Unique terrain features like Piney Pocosin and Big Pond Bay suggest the specific ecological character of the coastal plain, while the Old Railroad Grade north of Roseboro points to a former transportation corridor no longer in active use.
