About this map

The Lumber River snakes through this Carolina landscape, anchoring a complex network of wetlands and riverine bluffs such as Matthew Bluff and Horse Bluff. This 1990s survey captures the interface of the growing city of Lumberton and the traditional agrarian communities of Bellamy and Allenton. The terrain is defined by distinctive elliptical bay features, including Warwick Mill Bay, Little Thoroughfare Bay, and Big Thoroughfare Bay, which interrupt the pine-drained flatlands.

Industrial and utility infrastructure is concentrated in the northwest near East Lumberton, featuring a Power Plant, multiple Substations, and a Cooling Lake. For the family historian, the map preserves the locations of numerous rural institutions such as Cedar Grove Ch, Smyrna Ch, and several family burial grounds like Britt Cem. The presence of the Drive-in Theater and the Public Boat Ramp indicates the mid-to-late 20th-century recreational character of the river corridor.
