2019 Map of Wade

About this map

The Cape Fear River and Black River define the fertile corridor of northern Cumberland County, where the agricultural and crossroads communities of Wade, Godwin, and Falcon have long thrived. This landscape is marked by a deep-rooted sense of place, evidenced by numerous family and community landmarks such as Black's Chapel United Methodist Church Cem and the Antioch Baptist Church Cem. The terrain is crisscrossed by a network of local roads including Old Bluff Church Rd and Colliers Chapel Ch Rd, which connect the riverbanks to the more developed transport corridors. Near the intersection of these waterways and modern thoroughfares, the map reveals several local crossings like Starling Bridge and Grahams Bridge, while Rhodes Pond and Mingo Swamp highlight the varied wetland ecology that characterizes the region's eastern edges.
