About this map

The Cape Fear River and its tributary, the Little River, define the landscape of this portion of Cumberland County, where the northern outskirts of Fayetteville meet the rural expanses of the Carolina coastal plain. The map documents the northern growth of the city, including the campus of Methodist University and the residential corridors branching off Ramsey St. Beyond the urban edge, the terrain is characterized by a series of small airfields such as Windsor Farms Airport, Flyers Airpark, and Windemere Airport, indicating the importance of general aviation in this region.

Moving northeast, the landscape transitions into agricultural and managed forest lands dotted with several established communities including Slocomb, Eastover, and Wade. These settlements, along with smaller locales like Carlos and Lane, are linked by a network of rural roads such as McBryde St and W Reeves Bridge Rd. The numerous small lakes and ponds, including Clarks Lake, Ennis Pond, and Smiths Lake, illustrate the complex hydrology near the river basins.
