About this map

The Cape Fear River and Little River converge in this northern reach of Fayetteville, North Carolina. The landscape is defined by its transition from the academic grounds of Methodist Univ to the aviation-focused small settlements of the coastal plain. Numerous private airfields, including Windemere Airport, Windsor Farms Airport, and Flyers Airpark, are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the region's relationship with private flight.

Further east, the rural communities of Slocomb, Carlos, and Wade sit amidst a network of ponds and lakes such as Ennis Pond and Smiths Lake. This survey provides a look at the suburban expansion of Cumberland County at the boundary with Harnett County, documenting the dense residential street networks of neighborhoods like those along Ramsey St as they push into the forested wetlands near Carvers Creek.
