Overhills, North Carolina

Overhills is an unincorporated community located in the Johnsonville Township of Harnett County near the Cumberland County town of Spring Lake. The community was originally a 20,000-acre (81 km2) estate owned by the Percy Rockefeller family but later acquired by the federal government and is now mostly located inside nearby Fort Bragg (Powell 1968, p. 87). A Donald Ross-designed golf course was part of the original estate and is also now located inside Fort Bragg. Other area landmarks include Overhills High School.
