1997 Map of Slocomb

About this map

The Cape Fear River and Little River converge in this northern Cumberland County landscape, where rural communities like Slocomb and Linden sit at the intersection of agriculture and expanding infrastructure. The map reveals a transition from traditional land use toward modern development, evidenced by the presence of a Race Track, multiple unnamed landing strips, and a major pipeline corridor cutting across the terrain. Near the northern border of Fayetteville, community life is anchored by landmarks such as Long Hill Sch and the Athletic Field. Smaller settlements like Carlos and Lane are visible in the eastern reaches, while an upland Ranger Station and Tower overlook the varied topography. This 1997-derived imagery provides a clear view of the area before significant turn-of-the-century suburbanization altered these riverfront corridors.
