2013 Map of Wade

About this map

The Cape Fear River and Black River converge toward the northeast in this rural stretch of Cumberland County, where a series of small 21st-century settlements sit between the riverbanks and the interstate corridor. The town of Wade serves as a primary hub in the south, while the communities of Godwin and Falcon anchor the central portion of the quadrangle. Local road networks like Colliers Chapel Church Rd suggest long-standing rural community centers and religious sites that have persisted as the area evolved. Toward the eastern boundary, the S River and Mingo Swamp create a complex wetland environment, punctuated by crossings such as Starling Bridge and Grahams Bridge. Rhodes Pond stands out as a significant local water feature, reflecting the landscape's character where agricultural land meets the slow-moving drainage systems of the North Carolina coastal plain.
