About this map

Tomahawk and the surrounding lowlands of Bladen County are defined by the winding course of the Black River and the S River, which converge near several small landings and riverfront settlements. This survey captures the rural character of the region in the early 21st century, illustrating a network of family-named roads and remote reaches like Bloody Bluff and Jackie Landing. The landscape is etched with numerous branches and creeks, such as Devane Br, Big Tomahawk Cr, and Enoch Mill Cr, which feed into the main river systems.

Local landmarks such as the Newkirk Lookout Tower and the Memorial Monument near the southern boundary provide navigational anchors in a terrain characterized by Pridgen Flats and Big Island. Smaller communities like Murphytown and Smith Crossroads serve as inland hubs, connected by a web of local routes including Clear Run School Rd and Devane Farm Rd, reflecting the area's long-standing agricultural and river-based heritage.
