About this map

Lake Waccamaw and the surrounding coastal plains of Columbus Co define this 1990 survey, illustrating a landscape where expansive wetlands meet established agricultural and rail centers. The map documents the intricate hydrology of the region, from the Green Swamp and Crane Savanna to the courses of the Cape Fear River and Lumber River. The hub of Whiteville serves as a primary junction for both the Seaboard Coast Line RR and major highways including Us HWY 74.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific landmarks such as Mount Olive Ch, Antioch Ch, and numerous rural cemeteries. The map also captures significant public and institutional sites, including Southeastern Community College, the Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point, and the site of Moores Creek National Battlefield. From the tobacco and timber country near Tabor City and Chadbourn to the river landings in Bladen Co, this edition provides a comprehensive look at southeastern North Carolina just before the close of the twentieth century.
