1976 Map of Slocomb

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Cape Fear River winds through the heart of this mid-1970s landscape, serving as the dominant geographic feature for the small settlements of Slocomb and Lane. This orthophotograph, prepared from aerial imagery taken in early 1976, provides a clear view of the rural land-use patterns in this part of Cumberland County. The map reveals a mosaic of dense timberland and geometric agricultural clearings, illustrating how the local economy and settlement followed the natural corridor created by the river. Unlike traditional line-drawn maps, this aerial perspective allows for the direct observation of field shapes and forest density as they existed shortly before the late 20th-century expansion of nearby regional hubs.
