About this map

The county seat of Carthage and the historic rail town of Cameron anchor this modern-era study of the Moore County sandhills. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad runs through the eastern portion of the map, a line that historically linked these Piedmont communities to coastal and northern markets. The landscape is characterized by its transition from agricultural fields, such as Rooster Field, to the established residential and recreational areas of Whispering Pines in the southwest.

Several reservoirs dot the landscape, including Thurlows Lake and Thagards Lake, which reflect the region's managed water resources. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the locations of rural landmarks like Johnson Grove Cem, Crane Creek Cem, and Henderson Cem. Numerous family-named roads, such as Lamms Grove Rd and McCrimmon Rd, provide a window into the landownership patterns that have persisted even as the area adapts to modern suburban growth.
