1986 Map of Timothy

About this map

Great Coharie Creek and its tributary swamplands define the rural character of this Sampson County landscape during the mid-1980s. The settlement pattern is characterized by small communities and crossroads such as Timothy, Midway, and Vann Crossroads, with a high concentration of local religious centers including Roanoke Chapel and Mt Carmel Ch. Education and agriculture are central to the area's identity, anchored by the Midway High Sch and a network of namesake landmarks like McLamb Crossroads. The terrain is marked by numerous water bodies and wetlands, including Sinclair Lake, Sevenmile Swamp, and Blackmans Pond, which likely supported local industry as seen at the Warren Millpond. A notable feature of the northern portion is the presence of a substantial pipeline corridor and a small landing strip, indicating modern infrastructure development alongside traditional land uses.
