2019 Map of Ayersville

About this map

Dan River bottomlands and the dissected hills of the North Carolina piedmont define this landscape on the border of Stokes and Rockingham counties. The area is characterized by a network of small agricultural settlements and crossroads including Ayersville, Prestonville, and Dodgetown, connected by a dense web of secondary roads like Steele Rd and Doug Stanley Rd. The terrain is heavily etched by the tributaries of the Little Beaver Island and Big Beaver Island creeks, which flow south toward the main river channel near Madison. Genealogists will find several well-documented burial sites across the map, such as Ayersville Cem, Mount Herman Cem, and Bethesda Cem, providing anchors for local family histories in this rural landscape.
