2016 Map of Vander

About this map

Fayetteville and its eastern suburbs are documented here in 2016, showing a landscape defined by the winding Cape Fear River and a complex network of transportation and water management. The area transition from the urban density of Williams Village and East Fayetteville to the low-lying wetlands of Bakers Swamp and Duck Pond Swamp. Notable for genealogists is the Cross Creek Cem located near the city center, while the Fayetteville Regional Airport/Grannis Field dominates the southwestern corner. The map also captures the rural-to-suburban character of smaller communities like Vander, Eastover, and Beard. Evidence of local irrigation and drainage can be found in features like the Gum Log Canal and Locks Cr, which intersect with the significant highway interchanges that tie these settlements to the broader region.
