Cumberland County elevation and terrain tools
Sandhills • County seat: Fayetteville
Cumberland County straddles the line between the Sandhills and the coastal plain, with the Cape Fear River running through Fayetteville in a wide floodplain. West of the river the ground rises into rolling longleaf sandhills toward Hoke, while the east is flat with Carolina bays and creek swamps.
Open the mapLidar coverage
Lidar projects that cover Fayetteville, from the USGS 3DEP index. Other parts of the county may come from other projects; the coverage guide explains how to check any spot.
No lidar project is recorded at Fayetteville; the map falls back to the coarser 3DEP elevation model there.
Property boundaries
The Property tool can select parcels in Cumberland County from the county assessor’s GIS parcels (NC OneMap statewide parcels (county assessors)) and use the boundary as the area for any other tool. Assessor parcels are not surveys.
