1957 Map of Vander

About this map

The Cape Fear River and the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad define the industrial and agricultural corridors of eastern Cumberland County in the mid-20th century. The settlement of Vander serves as a central point for a landscape dotted with numerous small congregations, including Gardiner Chapel, Salem Ch, and St Pauls Ch. This area reflects the expansion of suburban and industrial activity east of the Fayetteville corporate boundary, where newer developments like Williams Village and East Fayetteville began to fill the spaces between traditional farming communities.
