1959 Map of Saint Pauls

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Cape Fear River dominates the eastern landscape of this late-fifties survey, carving through a region defined by extensive swamp drainage and scattered rural settlements. The rail-oriented economy of the time is visible through the Atlantic Coast Line and Virginia and Carolina Southern corridors, connecting towns like Saint Pauls and Hope Mills. Many small, family-centric landmarks such as Mallory Ch and Miller Chapel punctuate the landscape between the large elliptical depressions of Gallberry Bay and Burrell Bay. The transition from industrial transport to aviation is noted by the presence of the Fayetteville Municipal Airport in the north, while local agriculture and industry are represented by numerous Gravel Pits and timber-rich swamps like Murphy Swamp. This document captures the mid-century expansion of Cumberland and its neighboring communities before later suburban development altered the rural church and school network.
