2019 Map of Southeast Lumberton

About this map

Lumberton and its southeastern rural reaches are defined by a complex mosaic of Carolina bays and low-lying swamplands that have historically shaped the development of Robeson County. The Lumber River and Jacob Swamp form the primary drainage, creating a landscape where agricultural land is often interrupted by distinct geological depressions such as Warwick Mill Bay, Bear Bay, and Pine Bay. The industrial presence is marked by the Plant Cooling Lake and Ash Pond situated near Horse Bluff, reflecting the infrastructure required to support the local population. For genealogists, this 2019 survey documents several essential sites including Hollywood Cem, Wishart Cem, and Britt Cem. Smaller settlements like Allenton and Bellamy sit at crossroads east of the city, while neighborhoods such as Hestertown and East Lumberton anchor the urban edge. The map also records substantial wetlands like Lennon Pond and Big Bay, illustrating the persistent hydraulic character of the coastal plain south of the city center.
