2016 Map of Wagram

About this map

Lumber River and its dense wetland tributaries shape the rural character of this landscape along the border of Hoke and Scotland counties. The area is defined by expansive swamp systems including Raft Swamp, Big Middle Swamp, and Little Raft Swamp, which historically dictated the placement of settlements and transport routes. Smaller communities like Hickory Grove, Bowmore, and Edinburgh are linked by a network of rural roads such as Turnpike Rd and Laurinburg Rd. For local historians and genealogists, the map is particularly detailed in its marking of family-named burial grounds, including Blue Cem, Purcell Cem, and McMillan Cem, offering a clear record of the area's legacy of family landholdings and small-scale hamlets like New Town and Crump Town.
