About this map

Raft Swamp and its numerous tributaries, including Big Middle Swamp and Little Raft Swamp, dominate this landscape at the border of Hoke and Scotland counties. The Laurinburg & Southern RR runs through the heart of the region, connecting the established community of Raeford in the northeast to the smaller settlements of Bowmore, Edinburgh, and Wagram. This network of rail and road suggests a legacy of agrarian and timber transport through the low-lying wetlands.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of family-named landmarks and burial sites, which are essential for tracing local heritage. These include several precisely mapped locations such as McMillan Cem, Purcell Cem, and Love Cem. The terrain is characterized by the winding path of Drowning Creek along the western boundary and the distinctive hydrology of Wrights Pond and Buffalo Cr, reflecting the coastal plain's intricate drainage patterns.
