About this map

Bay Tree Lake and White Lake anchor this 2010 USGS study of southeastern North Carolina, showcasing the distinct Carolina Bay geological formations of the region. The landscape is a network of water and family-named landmarks, where the South River defines the eastern boundary and Colly Creek meanders through the central lowlands. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific data points, as the area is dotted with family burial grounds including Sand Hill Cemetery, the Marshburn Cemeteries, and Carroll Cemetery.

Infrastructure like the White Lake Airport and the junction at Hickory Grove Crossroads reflects the area's development around these unique water bodies. The presence of Church Landing and Boone Field Landing along the river suggests a long-standing reliance on these waterways for access and commerce. From the residential finger canals of Bay Tree Lake to the scattered crossroads like Smith Crossroads, the map preserves the precise layout of rural Bladen County at the start of the decade.
