About this map

The town of St. Pauls serves as the central hub of this North Carolina landscape, where the CSX Transportation railroad line runs parallel to the primary highway corridor. This area is defined by its complex network of swampy drainages and unique Carolina Bays, including Evans Bay, Lammon Bay, and Currie Bay. These elliptical depressions, alongside waterways like Big Marsh Swamp and Little Marsh Swamp, have historically dictated the patterns of local agriculture and transit.

Local history is preserved in several family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, such as McMillan Cem, Fisher Cem, and Tyson Cem. Smaller communities like Oakland, Tobermory, and Buies Neck are scattered across the quadrangle, which spans the borders of Robeson, Cumberland, and Bladen Counties. Aviation features like the Southern Comforts Aerodrome and Tailwinds Airport contrast with the traditional rural character of the settlements.
