About this map

The town of Rowland serves as the focal point of this coastal plain landscape, situated along the border of Robeson County and Dillon County. This map documents a region defined by extensive wetland networks, including the sprawling Ashpole Swamp and Persimmon Swamp, which dictate the patterns of local agriculture and road development. The transition from North Carolina into South Carolina is clearly marked by State Line Rd, which cuts through the southern reaches near the small settlement of Echo.

Family history and local heritage are well-represented by several named landmarks and burial sites. Genealogists can identify the Oakland United Methodist Church at Oakland Crossroads, as well as the Baker Cem and McCormick Cem. Rural hamlets like Alfordsville, Raemon, and Purvis are connected by a web of local roads such as Salem Rd and Gaddys Mill Rd, reflecting the enduring agricultural character of the Border Belt.
