Abstract | Manuscript with hand applied colors, mounted on linen. This map was prepared by Robert H. B. Brazier (died 1837) in his role as state surveyor/assistant state engineer from his survey of the Cape Fear River. The map portrays the Cape Fear River from Buckhorn Falls (at the junction of present day Chatham, Harnett, and Lee counties) to Campbellton (now Fayetteville) and shows transverse or bank to bank views of sections of the river. The water level of the river at various points is indicated in blue and the change in elevation of the river bottom is measured from the top of the dam at Buckhorn Falls and recorded on the map. |
Historical Note | This is one of many such surveys conducted by Brazier over a period of nearly a decade for the state Board of Internal Improvements in preparation for a new and accurate map of the state and to assist the board in its work of improving the state's transportation and commerce. |
Bibliographic Note | This map was formerly classified as M.C. 132-B. |
