About this map

Floral College and the winding course of the Lumber River anchor this portion of Robeson County, North Carolina. The landscape is characterized by extensive drainage networks, including Gum Swamp, Jordan Swamp, and Long Swamp, which weave between agricultural plots and small settlements like Wakulla and Duffies. The presence of the Laurinburg-Maxton Airport in the southwest corner reflects the region's mid-century modernization and its role in regional transport.

For genealogists, this map is a detailed record of local family legacies, preserved in the numerous small burial grounds throughout the area. These include Lily's Chapel Cemetery, Conelly Cemetery, McPhatter Cemetery, McLean Cemetery, McLaughlin Cemetery, Wilkinson Cemetery, Smith Cemetery, and McBryde Cemetery. The density of these family-named landmarks and cemeteries provides a clear view of the rural community's historical development and the continuity of its families through the early 21st century.
