About this map

The Cape Fear River and Black River converge toward the eastern edge of Cumberland County on this modern topographical survey. The landscape is defined by its riparian networks and the significant presence of wetland terrain along the S River, which serves as a natural boundary with neighboring Sampson County. Local transit is rooted in historic routes, including several family-named and community roads such as Old Bluff Church Rd and Holiness Chapel Rd, which hint at the region's religious and social heritage.

In the eastern portion of the map, the settlement of Cooper sits near the crossing at Grahams Bridge, while Rhodes Pond provides a significant water feature to the north. These features, along with Westminster Cem and river crossings like Starling Bridge, anchor the rural landscape. The map captures the intersection of major transit corridors and smaller local paths like Colliers Chapel Ch Rd, illustrating the spatial development of the area at the start of the 21st century.
