About this map

The Cape Fear River serves as the dominant geographic boundary in this portrait of eastern Cumberland County, where the urban expansion of Fayetteville meets the more rural stretches of North Carolina's coastal plain. The map documents a complex transition from established city neighborhoods to specialized land uses, such as the Eastover Air Ranch Airport and the sprawling industrial-to-suburban corridors of East Fayetteville and Vander. Smaller, distinct communities like Beard, Williams Village, and Judson represent the older settlement patterns that preceded the region's modern infrastructure growth.

Transportation networks are heavily represented by the CSX rail line and numerous primary roads that facilitate transit through unique terrain features like Biggs Pocosin and Duck Pond Swamp. Genealogists and local historians can find value in the identification of landmarks like Cross Creek Cem and the complex drainage systems of Locks Cr and Walkers Swamp, which continue to define the area's physical development and historical limits.
