About this map

Bethany Crossroads and the town of Stedman anchor this coastal plain landscape in Cumberland County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of blackwater streams and swamps. The South River meanders along the eastern boundary, fed by tributaries like Big Creek, Little Creek, and Jones Swamp. Human engineering of these watercourses is evident at Gainey Millpond and Maxwell Millpond, sites that historically supported local milling and agriculture.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family ties through several small burial sites, including Fisher Cemetery near the center of the sheet and McCall Cemetery to the east. Transportation patterns range from the small Coates Airport in the north to numerous rural corridors such as Wade Stedman Rd and Maxwell Rd. The map also preserves the location of Clement and several crossings like Faircloths Bridge, illustrating the settlement patterns between the creeks and swamplands.
