About this map

Lake Tabor serves as a central landmark for the rural communities along the North Carolina and South Carolina border. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of wetlands, including Grissett Swamp, Gum Swamp, and Mill Branch Swamp, which have historically shaped the settlement patterns and road layouts in this coastal plain region. Numerous family-named roads and burial grounds such as McPherson Cemetery, Todd Cemetery, and Hinson Cemetery indicate the deep-rooted genealogical heritage of the area.

Small agricultural hamlets like Clarendon, Sidney, and Vinegar Hill are connected by a grid of local routes like Old Cribbtown RD and Sidney Cherry Grove RD. The map reveals the expansion of Tabor City and East Tabor, noting civic locations such as the Tabor City Post Office and recreational spaces like Rogers Field. This 2011 survey documents the modern layout of these historic borderlands before subsequent development.
