2022 Map of Southeast Lumberton

About this map

The Lumber River winds through this coastal plain landscape southeast of Lumberton, carving a path through extensive wetlands and named bluffs. The area is defined by its complex hydrography, where the Jacob Swamp and Jackson Swamp systems feed into numerous Carolina bays, such as Big Thoroughfare Bay, Bear Bay, and Juniper Bay. These elliptical depressions, unique to the Atlantic Seaboard, dominate the eastern half of the map, illustrating a landscape where drainage patterns have historically dictated the placement of roads and homesteads.
